NEW: Two hospitalized after car crashes into parked trailer

A serious crash shut down part of Miliary Road in the Cherrydale neighborhood this afternoon.

The crash happened shortly before 12:30 p.m. Tuesday on the 2200 block of Military Road, a block from Dorothy Hamm Middle School.

Initial reports suggest that a sedan was driven into the back of a trailer parked on the side of the road.

One person was trapped in the car after the crash and was freed by Arlington firefighters, who used rescue equipment to cut off the vehicle’s roof.

The trapped person and a second vehicle occupant were taken to a local hospital via ambulance. Both had potentially serious injuries.

An early report that one person was unconscious after the crash could not immediately be confirmed.
