One killed, five injured in fatal Beltway car accident


Posted on Apr 07, 2009

An early Monday morning accident resulted in the death of one person and injury to five others.  The driver of a sport-utility vehicle crashed into the center divider on the Capital Beltway around 3am.  The collision killed a 19 year old Alexandria woman, and the driver and four other vehicle occupants were seriously injured.

 

The crash happened while the SUV driver was traveling on the inner loop near Rt. 1 in Prince George’s county.  The driver lost control of the SUV and collided with the center median, flipping the SUV.  When the SUV landed on its roof, two of the six people inside were ejected.  The 19 year old woman died at the scene, and the remaining vehicle occupants were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

 

As a result of the crash authorities shut down all lanes of the Beltway inner loop.  It remained closed for four hours.  That, plus the closure of I-95 South where it merges with the beltway caused major early morning traffic jams.

 

Alcohol is suspected to have been a factor in the crash, and it is unknown if the individuals thrown from the SUV were wearing seatbelts.  The victims have not yet been identified by police as their families had yet to be notified, but according to police all had Virginia addresses.
