P.S. I'm glad he is okay, without life threatening condition.

Absolutely ridiculous!!!! This single car accident with non-life threatening injuries caused the entire eastbound Greenway to be shut down and three helicopters to be hovering over Ashburn from 6 to 8 AM? People who were on the Greenway at the time should have been given a refund if they had to "bailout" due to the shutdown.

This appears to be unbelievable. People drive like there is no tomorrow. I can have my cruise set at 65 and people pass me like I'm doing 20. Unless he had a medical condition at the time of the incident, maybe he should try riding a bicycle.... or get more sleep, or stop talking or texting while driving or watch out for those deer ????? Hmmmm, what is up with this?
