(Updated at 11:05 a.m.) A person was taken to the hospital in grave condition after a serious two-vehicle crash near the East Falls Church Metro station.
The crash happened around 8:30 a.m. on N. Sycamore Street at the intersection with Washington Blvd.
The force of the collision ejected one of the drivers and they ended up trapped under a vehicle, said Arlington County Police Department spokeswoman Ashley Savage. Firefighters worked to free the driver and rush them to a local trauma center.
The crash left one of the vehicles, an orange FreshDirect grocery delivery box truck, on its side in the intersection. The other vehicle involved was a white work van. A van for a local barbecue restaurant could be seen parked nearby but it did not appear to be damaged nor involved.
In addition to the driver who was critically injured, four people — including occupants of both vehicles — were transported by ambulance for injuries that are “considered non-life threatening,” police say.
Police remain on scene investigating the crash. The crash response and investigation has closed N. Sycamore Street at the intersection. The ramp from eastbound I-66 to Sycamore is also closed.
The closures are expected to remain in place for at least the next few hours, Savage said. Various Metrobus lines are being redirected around the crash site.
