Skytrak7 over the scene. Right now these are the live pictures. We are told the cleanup will take at least until 9 00 tonight. Some traffic you can see getting by. This is five hours after the crash. Earlier we saw one driver rushed from the scene. Firefighters working hours to free the person out of that mercedes s. U. V. That was thrown off the road and put in a helicopter once they finally got them out of the vehicle and taken to the hospital. As for the wrongway driver we understand she was killed. She had an infant in her car. We understand that was critically injured in the crash. Its not clear why the driver in the case was going the wrong way. At last check they identified the driver as a 22yearold woman. We are trying to get information and well grit it to you. Michelle now a story we broke on 7. Shocking video show guards dump a woman out of a wheelchair. 7 on your side investigator scott taylor broke the story and he sat down with the hospital for answers. The hospital didnt try to defend the actions of security guards today. They removed the guards from the duties pending the outcome of their own investigation. The woman tumbles out on the sidewalk on the video. The guards turn and walk away. Listen to the reaction of the people walking by and the security guards. The comments are unacceptable and beyond disturbing. The Howard University hospital weighing in, too. I have seen the video. Its troubling and tragic. We try to treat everyone with dignity. We work with the families and the Community Organization and get the transsix from the hospital to home transsix from the hospital to home as smooth as possible. Scott we still dont know the name of the patient. Hospital officials tell me that she is a regular patient here. Come to the hospital all the the incident is back for treatment at the hospital. This is surrounding the issues about the president. And russia. The department of justice just naming a special council to investigate the connections to russia in the 2016 election. Abc7s Political Correspondent scott thuman is looking into this and he joins you now. Scott there were a lot of loud calls for special prosecutor, a special counsel. This is something that had to be done by the department of justice since the attorney general Jeff Sessions recused himself on the case. It had to be a move made by the Deputy Attorney general rosenstein. He apparently has done that and he has named bob moore the former f. B. I. Director, james comeys predecessor as the special counsel to look into the case. Well have more on at is the conversations may have taken place between the former director and president trump. Why he wasnt talking plenty were an labeling it possible obstruction of justice. What do you make when people use the word imimpeachment . Its premature. Scott legal experts differ if its criminal or impeachment worthy but more action is on the way. Jason chaffetz requested all note and reports of the conversation between comey and trump in a week or threaten subpoenas. Im sure we will hear from comey about why this happens as he allegedly describes, why time . There are unanswered questions. I told the members now is the time to gather the permanent information. Democrats say that is what they have tried to do. Demanding but not receiving it. The white house is obstructing the investigation and refusing to provide not a single document. Not a single syllable. Zilch. Nothing. Scott if comey testifies it could shed light on what really happened in the private meeting with the president and why this supposed memo didnt surface back in february. There were already two congressional investigations. There is the naming of a special counsel to investigate. Bob moore, the former f. B. I. Director takes another trajectory. So now we have three different gs into the russian investigation. This is perhaps the biggest one yet. This is a narrative that is playing out for four or five months. Now you have a special prosecutor tasked to look into this how long do you anticipate a case like this could take to investigate . Scott that is where critics have jumped in to say it could be counter productive and a bad move if you are looking for something that might be impeachment worthy, if you use that word. A former speech writer of president bush worked for the atlantic and he wrote a piece that talked about a select committee, the committees underway right now. They look for the truth. Special council or the prosecutor looks for the wrongdoing that is criminal. So sometimes you find something offensive but it mights not be criminal. It also can take a long time for the cases to develop. Because they look for a criminal element. Some say if the bad actions dont amount to the crimes a prosecutor is supposed to look away. This is a massive twist in the investigation to the russian ties and we are waiting any reaction from the white house. We will keep pushing for answers and brian you developments as we bring you developments as we learn them.

They each suffered injuries in this attack. It happened during rush hour on friday night at gallery place. Rowley had just gotten off a red line train. He said he was going to exit when a group attacked him for no reason. There were a lot of people around but only one person stepped in to help. That person was Andrew Miller about to enter his third year here at g. W. Law school. Miller says he wishes that more people would have stepped in. When there is a crowd of people watching someone get hurt. That is a shame. The crowd could have done something about it. Should have. I hope next time the crowd does something about it. I hope that more people step forward and fight on behalf of the people who need it. The word hero is thrown around casually. Sports heroes. All sort of heroes. This guy is a tom john that you heard from there, he was kicked in the head. He was thrown into a train pulling away from the platform. He says he was certainly injured. He needs surgery on his hand next week but he said the injuries would have been worse if it werent for miller stepping in. Metro police made two arrests in this usca.
