(Updated at 7:25 p.m.) A serious accident on Washington Blvd between Glebe Road and Vernon Street is causing major delays.

Around 6:00 p.m. police received the call of an accident with injuries. Nine vehicles were involved in the crash.

During their investigation, police discovered that the driver of an SUV was spotted driving recklessly. As he approached the red light, he allegedly made no effort to stop and rear ended the driver of a convertible. The SUV ended up on top of the convertible, and the woman inside became trapped. The woman was extricated and transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police are still speaking with the driver of the SUV. It’s likely that he will be charged with reckless driving.

Traffic is getting by slowly on Glebe Road, but Washington Blvd is shut down through Stafford Street, and will be for at least for another 45 minute. Drivers who need to pass through the area are advised to find alternate routes.
