Car Slams Into Station 650 Apartments in Potomac Yard

133

Very little detail coming in right now but, as the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks to a Twitter follower for alerting us to this.

Here’s what I know:

A car traveling in the Potomac Yard neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia was traveling too fast and smacked into the side on the Station 650 apartment complex on Route 1. There has been no report of injuries and we have reached out to our contacts on this for more information. We’ll update the post as more information comes in.

Updates below after the jump…

UPDATE (7:49 AM):: APD has posted updated info about the case on Facebook. (H/T John)

@redbricktown Thankfully the police were there literally within seconds. I was on the phone with 911 and PD was already there.

Thankfully the traffic crash at Rt. 1 and Potomac Ave that went into a building was into empty retail space. pic.twitter.com/o67sWb4SQy
