A rented box truck ran into a fence surrounding Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in what was reported to be just an accident.
The incident happened Friday morning near the Route 50/Washington Blvd interchange. The truck ran into and damaged a fence but did not actually drive onto the military installation.
The crash was a “simple traffic accident” and there was no threat to the base or its personnel, JBMHH spokeswoman Leah Rubalcaba told ARLnow.
