An Arlington woman is facing several charges after a hit-and-run crash in the Virginia Square area.
The incident started around 9:15 a.m. this past Saturday. Archived traffic camera video (via SafetyVid) shows a car heading southbound on N. Quincy Street, past Arlington Central Library, before barrelling into an SUV stopped at the traffic light at Fairfax Drive.
The car and its driver remain on scene for a few minutes, with hazard lights on and visible front end damage, before driving off — to the apparent bewilderment of the SUV driver.
Police arrived at the crash scene a short time later. According to Arlington County police, the striking driver and her damaged car were found at a residential property a few blocks away. The woman, identified as a 31-year-old Arlington resident, allegedly kicked an officer while being taken into custody.
She now faces several charges in Arlington as well as an outstanding charge from Fairfax County, according to online records.
