Alexandria Police Department Investigates Single Vehicle Crash on Richmond Highway

For Immediate Release: July 30, 2021
 
The Alexandria Police Department is investigating a single vehicle crash on Richmond Highway that occurred on Tuesday, July 27, 2021.

At approximately 6:29 a.m., officers responded to the crash at the intersection of Richmond Highway and Potomac Avenue.  The preliminary investigation indicates a 60-year-old non-Alexandria resident was driving a white Ford Escape northbound on Richmond Highway when the vehicle crossed the median into the southbound lanes, struck the wall separating the sidewalk from the street and came to a stop.

A witness to the crash, a physician for the military on their way to work, provided medical assistance until paramedics with the Alexandria Fire Department arrived on scene.  The male driver was transported to the hospital where he remains in critical, but stable condition.

Members of the Alexandria Police Crash Reconstruction Team are investigating the crash.  Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Investigator Nancy Gordon at 571.289.6794 or the police non-emergency line at 703.746.4444.
