Police deal with multiple crashes
Authorities urged people to stay home and off the roads as the storm struck to allow crews to clear the roadways, as well as afterward when the temperatures dropped, causing some refreezing. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin encouraged people not to travel when it’s not necessary due to the slick roads and the clearing of snow. In Maryland, state police said they got more than 1,100 calls, which included 261 reported crashes and 309 unattended vehicles. In Virginia, state police said they had to increase the number of troopers on the road to address the crashes. As of 4 a.m. Tuesday, a Virginia State Police news release said they were investigating four crashes in Northern Virginia, including one with reported injuries. Even though some major roads in Virginia were clear, WTOP’s Neal Augenstein reported Tuesday that in Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties, there was more packed snow on side streets and parking lots that aren’t on commuter routes.
