Several times over the course of 12 or 15 minutes and the driver kept on telling us that we were going to be moving shortly and then finally he fale said there was a train approaching from the rear andg e of course that was shocking toig me because i could imagine itt coming at 60 miles an hour andou i was on the last car. C it was scary just sitting sii in the tunnel with nothing, no service, cant call nobody or nothing. Nothing. Metro need to get their stuff together. Together. Say no to metro.

Hes trying to work with the t budget that he has. H hes going to leave theve the additional funding for jack forj evans to fight for but he saysay under his current budget hes bs going to do the best that he can do. Live at rosslyn station mattro matt thanks very much. Thanks a maryland state trooperroor is hospitalized tonight after a major accident on theen capital beltway. L btw the beltway has justtway j reopened between route 450 and d the bw parkway but there is thee still a traffic mess out therese for drivers. Fox5s paul wagner is live i liv right now with the latest onatt that story. Paul, what can you tell us . Reporter well, im looking at the beltway now. What you just said surprises me because i dont see traffic i moving on the outer loop right d now, so itou appears to me thath the outer loop is stills sti closed. Ed. So, i just wanted to updatepd people on that right away. A im not sure exactly wherely w youre getting that getng t information, but lets talk about the accident. Out the trooper is now in Critical Condition. Io he was medevaced off thehe beltway when this accident happened just before 3 oclock this afternoon. Er he was taken to shock trauma tra in baltimore. In balti we were just told by Maryland Md State Police that hes inn Critical Condition. Condition. Lets show you video that wasidt shot from earlier today. Er tod this is a very confusing scenefs so you really have to kind follow along here. What were told is that the t maryland state trooper fromop f the College Park Barracks was investigating an accident onccen the outer loop on the rightig shoulder just short of of annapolis road route 450 when w another accident happened behind him also on the outer t o loop in between 50 and 450. 50 now, according to Maryland State Police, there were threeth vehicles involved in that accident. One of the vehicles involved ved in that accident then fled theet scene. Apparently and apparentlyppen because its still undernd investigation, apparently in a n hit and run situation. That vehicle then crossed all a four lanes of the beltway andf struck the back of the troopers car. Then, according to marylandyl state police, a tow truck coming behind hit that vehicle v that had hit the trooper, troop spenspunit around and then crasa into the freezing rains t drivers side door trappingoor g police say a Good Samaritan sar may have saved this troopers tr life. They say that another townoth t truck coming along saw whatha happened. Happed. That driver then jumped out, grabbed a chain, hooked it upooi to the striking vehicle andehled pulled it away from the t maryland state troopers vehicle, from his cruiser soruis that ems could come into thee in scene and get that trooper out e of the car and get him into an ambulance and into a left lane n copter to go to shock trauma. T i know its very, very ver confusing but thats whattst Maryland State Police are telling us happened at this h point. So they are investigating whether there may have been a hit and run. E ma theyre also investigatingestit whether this person may have been under the influence ofnfcef something or possibly havingav some kind of medical emergency but again, this trooper now in Critical Condition at maryland n shock trauma and again, imaumad looking back at the outer loop of the beltway and i dont see e traffic moving here. So, the outer loop is still s closed at this point. Pnt we did see one of the marylandhr state trooper helicopte flying overhead a little while w ago apparently taking some pictures of the scene. Ce thats what we have live here h out in prince georges county. Ro paul wagner, fox5 local news. Thanks, paul. Aul. It seems impossible to seems believe. Beli workers with d. C.

Fox5s Tom Fitzgerald joinsaloi us now with thought this was a done deal. D what happened . Hpened . Reporter yeah, its ate yea good question and heres theese deal. This is a lot like one of those old term papers had you to do. You knew it was due but maybe bm you waited until the last the ls minute to turn it in. N. The question is this. T did the National Park serviceer drag its feet to the point t poi where it could miss out on an opportunity tonight to secure a big chunk of the quarter qer billion dollar price tag to repair the crumbling memorialngr bridge. Idge. Why is it crumbling . Take amb . Look for yourself. Ourself. Rewind back to june. J that is when fox5 secured a a look inside this bridge and a what we showed you was anyas other pretty.

Now, Park Service DirectorDec John Jarvis was here at this ths spot last spring sounding thendh alarm that unless repairs wererr made on this could be closed to carsars because it would be too be to dangerous to carry the load of the 68,000 cars that cross tt cs over it each and every day. Ryay so, whats the problem . Turnse out there is this midnight deadline tonight to apply for fr federal funds towards the 250 million price tag.

Tom i was concerned just was walking over it thinking aboutt this. This so, i would hope that we get weg some money there, sure. Here sur. I dont know, i guess if it needs to be repaired and shut down, then probably its the t best thing to do rather than have a structurally unsoundy uno bridge. Were going have to make do e if infrastructure has to beas to repaired. Problem with local authoritiests and government authorities that they dont like spending money on maintenance. Reporter well, for itsr part the National ParkService Tonight would not agree to oureo request for an interview about t this application but they did t do this. Ts.
