Title: Bad Accident Shortly After Noon Near Overpass On Route 104
Post by: Henry on March 17, 2013, 06:01:20 PM
A report on this accident with video was on Channel 22 News tonight which gives quite a different story of what happened. I believe an SUV crossed the center line and hit an oncoming car. If they put up the story, I will put up a link to it. The road was closed for about an hour and both Fairfax Fire and Fairfax Rescue were toned out. Just as they were toned out, I received a phone call and had to turn my scanner down as Fire and Rescue arrived on the scene.
