An overturned truck caused lengthy delays on the George Washington Memorial Parkway in Virginia during Monday morning rush hour. A truck driver suffered minor injuries when their vehicle overturned on the westbound GW Parkway past the Key Bridge around 6 a.m., U.S. Park Police told WTOP, adding they believe speeding may have been a factor in the crash. Bumper-to-bumper traffic stretched back for over three miles past the 14th Street bridge as crews swept up what a WTOP listener said appeared to be stone, spilled from the truck. Both lanes were closed for about an hour. At 7 a.m. WTOP’s Rob Woodfork reported one lane was getting by the crash. The remaining lane reopened around 8 a.m. though delays persisted.
