It happened again.
Amid rainy weather, a vehicle crashed and overturned on the northbound GW Parkway near Key Bridge, at a bend in the road that — as we reported yesterday — has been the scene of numerous crashes. This is at least the third crash at that location in the past three days.
The crash occurred shortly before 8:45 a.m. The driver was able to get out of the overturned vehicle and no serious injuries have been reported, according to scanner traffic.
Drivers should expect significant backups on the northbound GW Parkway south of the bridge as a result of the crash.
Many commuter routes in Arlington are currently experiencing heavy traffic due to the rain, crashes, and — in the case of inbound traffic heading over the Key Bridge — a demonstration in D.C.
ADVISORY: In NW, M St is BLOCKED btwn 34th and 33rd Streets by demonstration. AVOID #Georgetown #NWDC #DCTraffic

We’ve heard from many that Wednesdays have become the busiest commuting days of the week. Throw in some rain on our roads, a few accidents, and this is what we get. Back to soul-crushing traffic @nbcwashington #dctraffic pic.twitter.com/29tcj2riSv
