(Updated at 4:15 p.m.) All southbound lanes of the GW Parkway are blocked by a crash near Key Bridge.
Drivers should expect significant delays in the area, with the backup in the southbound lanes now extending to Chain Bridge.
The parkway has been the scene of numerous crashes around a bend in the road near the bridge, especially during rainy weather days like today.
In another rainy GW Parkway crash earlier today, a vehicle ran off the northbound GW lanes and into the woods near Windy Run. Three occupants were able to get out of the car, per scanner traffic, and at least two were hospitalized.
Video from where Park Police has shut down the George Washington Parkway southbound — right before the Rosslyn exit.
Officers are out in the street telling cars to turn around and head back.
