The Heche crash that destroyed a house and the La Brea crash that killed 6 people were a 53-year-old and 37-year-old respectively. I wouldn’t suspect old age and deteriorating faculties just yet.

Latest from ArlNow:
“ The crash happened when a car “came down N. Courthouse Road and went into the building going very quick,” Cahill said. He said it went about 20 feet into the building before coming to rest and catching fire. Initial reports suggest multiple people were inside the car at the time of the crash.
Courthouse Road ends at a “T” intersection with Wilson Blvd, with Four Courts directly in front of the turning traffic. It is unclear why the driver did not stop or turn. The car appeared to be going well above the speed limit, witnesses said.”

Virginia tags are easily read. Has anyone posted the name of the owner?

I can see how someone could easily go straight there if they didn’t know it was a T intersection. Looks like an Uber. No one who lives in Arlington would drive a Camry.

If they didn’t know?? Only if they had their eyes closed. It’s a row of restaurants, no mistaking that you can only turn left. It’s a one way street.

This is the view from the traffic light.

What a moron (the driver that is). I hope they throw the book at him/her, especially if they were impaired.

Someone on twitter said “Wow Fox5 just said the driver in the Arlington crash into Four Courts was an Uber driver with an active drive underway.” Can anyone confirm? I know Uber drivers are getting worse but I would still expect them to avoid buildings!

The owner isn't always the operator. Potentially a case of joy riding formerly known as auto theft.

Drugs or alcohol?

We live here and my kids bike all over Clarendon-Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and thus sh@t scares me. Car drivers have gotten insane. Way too fast, running lights, driving erratically and distracted. I’m surprised more pedestrians haven’t been killed.

This is the only mention of this that I’ve heard (fox5), but I saw it on Twitter too. Anyone else hear this?
