Vienna Driver Has Scary Crash In Snow

VIENNA, VA—A Vienna driver had a scary crash early Thursday after snow fell overnight. Commuters experienced slick road conditions Thursday and continuing into Friday as cold temperatures and strong wind chills swept through the area.

The driver was heading south on East Street NE when the accident happened around 6:25 a.m. Deciding to turn back home due to the poor road conditions, the driver made a u-turn. That u-turn caused the car to slip off the road and crash over the curb near Maple Avenue E.

Luckily the driver was not seriously injured, but the car had minor damage.
