Crash on Bridge Leaves Car Hanging

Update at 2:40 p.m. — Part of the front of the car was hanging over northbound lanes of Route 110, which were closed while a wrecking crew worked to hook the car up to a tow truck. The car has since been hauled away and all lanes have reopened. Damage is visible on the north side of the bridge.

A car is reported to have two wheels hanging over Route 110 after a single-vehicle crash on a bridge.

The accident happened on southbound Washington Boulevard, just past the Pentagon. According to police radio traffic, the car smashed partially through the barrier on the side of the bridge, which runs over Route 110. All southbound lanes of Washington Boulevard were closed while the driver of the car was loaded onto an ambulance and taken to the hospital.
