Details in just a little bit. Tle good morning to you, imng t wisdom martin alongsidelongsi maureen umeh and holly morris. O. Were following breaking news out of the gate this morning. This is happening in montgomery county. Police are investigating aesting single car crash that happenedte last night in rockville. Ockvle the crash happened on muncaster mill road and emery ad lane. That was last night just afterft 11 30. 11 no word on any injuries at iur this time. Thise. We do have a reporter headedr he to the scene of the crash and cs well bring you any updates as we get them. He in just 30 minutes metroinesm will reopen after an unprecedented 29 hour shutdown. Rail service was r suspendered soai crews couldrewc perform emergency inspectionsge and repair work. K. What can commuters expectmutersp today . Fox5s melanie5s la alnwick is live in northwestwe with the latest. With t good morning, mel. Ning, me reporter hey, good rep morning, yeah, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that everything is going to bei on schedule today. We know as erin was sayingayin that most of the lines are les good but foggy bottom here is i what we are still waiting to wai hear on so they were hopinger that the repairs here at foggy bottom would also be done bybe b 5 00 a. M. And everything wouldt be back to normal s but what inspectors found, what wasound, revealed at the pressaled at th conference yesterday wasay w really just a stunning stuin evidence that general manager Paul Wiedefeld made the right call. Defects so serious that trainsra should not have been running rug across those tracks. Ts. Take a look at the video here. Were talking about 600e talkin0 different jumper cables. Eren these are lines that connectne parts of the third rail that arent covered. Now, inspectors found 26 defects, three of which involved major issues witarh tot those cables. Th were talking about damaged insulation exposed wireslati capable of sparking an electrical fire at any minute. I the most stunning admission was what could have been had had mondays incident at Mcpherson E Square happened just a bit hpene later with more traffic and tra more riders. Rid it would have been verywo similar i believe to theulbeliet Lenfant Plaza again depends den on where the train had been in that instance but clearly the to what we experienced at Lenfant Plaza meaning inning terms of the smoke. Mo so, now ive got to come up comu with a different strategy than the one we follow apparently. Ppl reporter we know thatte most of the repairs were ableire to be made there on the spot s but the three the threehehr locations that had the most mt serious defects of courseectsou foggy bottom also mcpherson mhe square and potomac avenue. Venue. So, one of the things thatssha interesting is as we talked about before, these areas,re these jumper cables have been inspected in the past. So, that is another thing thats meantros going have to go backb and look at, was there aas t problem with the inspections or is there a problem with the conditions in the tunnel and tul cables such that is insulation breaks down way too quickly qui even between inspections, howctw frequent should those inspections be. Ons so many more things to followngf out of this but hopefully hef everybody will be back up andllk running at 5 00 this morning. Back to you guys.
