Clarendon Tonight: Don Tito closed with a fight that needed ACPD patrol units to join the nightlife detail. About 18 officers and three or four arrests. This is just some of the action. More later today. Video via SafetyVid.com. #Arlington #Clarendon #ClarendonFights @arlnow.bsky.social

#Clarendon Tonight: The fighting couldn't even wait for the nightlife detail to check-in. At 7:30 a bunch of ACPD patrol units & EMS went to Spider Kelly's. One person reported to have a broken foot. @susanforarlington.bsky.social @susmo.org @maureencoffeyva.bsky.social @jdspainsr.bsky.social

Watch this one: Driver sees that the right lane is blocked by a big sign just a little too late and his car ends up wearing the sign. Witnesses say the person/people in the car walked away. At least one person was stopped by police. Video from SafetyVid.com. @arlnow.bsky.social #crash #collision

Watch: A lot going on in this four-car crash just after 3 pm on I-66E Exit 69 to Rt 29 & Washington Blvd. near Falls Church, VA. No indication of serious injuries. @arlnow.bsky.social #traffic #crash #collision #accident

Clarendon Tonight: A "sick person" is being treated in front of Spider Kelly's right now. Experience tells me it's not likely caused by Covid, measles, or bird flu but I feel obligated to remind you I am not a doctor and don't even play one on X. #arlington #clarendon

This was the car fire that messed up traffic on I-395N express lanes just before the 14th Street Bridge. The fire scene has been cleared but the right lane is blocked on the bridge with a minor crash that has been there since before the fire. @arlnow.bsky.social #arlington #traffic #carfire

Check out video of San Bernardino County firefighters. statter911.com/2025/03/02/v... #firefighters

Watch: A crash a short time ago at Braddock Road and Burke Station Road. Injuries aren't believed to be life-threatening. Video from SafetyVid.com. @ffxnow.bsky.social #traffic #crash #collision #fairfaxcounty

Clarendon Tonight: There was an earlier fight at Wilson Blvd. and Washington Blvd. And a woman was arrested in front of Bar Bao. So far, a relatively quiet night. #arlington #clarendon

(1) NEW: Video of American Airlines Flight 2246 from Boston aborting its landing at Reagan National yesterday morning. In light of the tragic mid-air collision last month I understand why this was news but my experience living near the airport is that this occurs somewhat regularly. (more)

WATCH THESE IDIOTS: There had already been back-to-back serious crashes at the same spot on I-95S in the Arbutus area of Baltimore County Sunday morning when there two selfish jerks decided it was okay to go the wrong way to avoid the traffic jam. And a third driver who just stopped. #traffic

This is what it looked like when firefighters pulled up to a recent fire in Lincoln, Nebraska. statter911.com/2025/02/19/a... #firefighters

NEW: Just after 12:30 a.m., following at least the 2nd fight, Bar Bao was shut by police. Good! How about a two-fight rule every night? Start hurting their pocketbook and watch how quickly some of these problems vanish. #Clarendon @susanforarlington.bsky.social @maureencoffeyva.bsky.social

#Clarendon Tonight Update: A number of arrests in the last hour including the guy in the yellow shirt. He's one of two grabbed after a fight at Washington & Wilson. As I edited this video, there was another fight at Don Tito. @susanforarlington.bsky.social @maureencof.bsky.social #arlington

Clarendon Tonight: What would the night be without @ArlingtonVaFD sending an ambulance to Don Tito? This time it's for a cut on eye. Police had a "disorderly" call at DTs earlier. #Clarendon #Arlington

Wrong-way driver causes 4-car crash: A driver coming off of I-66W in Rosslyn went the wrong way on N. Lynn Street. They hit a curb, sideswiped one car, hit a second car head-on, and that car was pushed into a third vehicle. It happened around 6:45 p.m. Video via SafetyVid.com. @arlnow.bsky.social .

Two alarm fire with extra tankers yesterday in Lehigh County, PA. statter911.com/2025/02/18/d... #firefighters

Watch this: A STATter911 follower claims this is a @metrobusinfo.bsky.social shuttle from the Pentagon to Rosslyn. The driver got lost and then put passengers and other drivers in danger by briefly blocking I-395S & crossing all lanes of the highway. @arlnow.bsky.social #wmata #Metrobus

Shooting update 2: S. Eads Street between 15th and 20th in Crystal City remains closed as Arlington County Police continue to investigate tonight's shooting. #arlington #crystalcity #shooting #crime

Shooting update: Video of Arlington County police, fire, and EMS arriving in the 1600 block of S. Eads Street. The shooting scene appears to have been in or near an apartment where a party was being held. Two people who were wounded went by ambulance to area hospitals. Video via SafetyVid.com.

Breaking: Shooting with at least two reported wounded in the 1600 block of S. Eads Street in Crystal City. @arlnow.bsky.social

Close-call: Arlington County firefighters ran out of the way as the red car suddenly backed up and slammed into another vehicle in Ballston. Two elderly women inside were startled by the fire engine and may have suffered from a medical condition. No injuries. #Arlington #Ballston

Watch: The crashes don't happen as frequently thanks to @vadotnova.bsky.social's changes but drivers still make a dash for the left side exit on I-395S at Exit 8C (to Crystal City). Here's a driver who didn't make it and then almost caused a second crash. @arlnow.bsky.social #traffic #crash

I guess the great @russtamblyn.bsky.social had it wrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9z3...

Firefighter Gaudet died after a wall collapsed during a downtown fire Wednesday. statter911.com/2025/02/13/f... #firefighterkilled

Binghamton mayor reports one firefighter is dead and two others injured. statter911.com/2025/02/13/f... #firefighter #firefighterkilled

This reported kitchen fire in Levittown, PA, extended into the attic and through the roof. statter911.com/2025/02/10/v... #firefighters

Wrong way driver - a personal tale: One of the first cars this driver encountered going the wrong way on 110N near #Rosslyn today was mine. Lucky to have space to move out of the way & the driver finally stopped when they saw me. This happens a lot at this spot. #Arlington

When DC911's Heather McGaffin again tells council members and their constituents today they aren't allowed to see after-action reports where people have died because it's too personal and technical I hope at least one CM makes this important point 🔽🔽 Read more here statter911.com/2025/02/05/d...

I'll be testifying today before the Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety (headed by @brookepintodc.bsky.social ), following up on the letter 125+ current & former ANCs/candidates signed regarding gravely serious concerns about DC's 911 Call Center. Live @ 10am: dc.granicus.com/MediaPlayer....

NEW: Today's DC911 hearing hasn't happened yet & Director Heather McGaffin has told the council they can't learn details of incidents where people died. And, once again, OUC submits questionable stats. Will @brookepintodc.bsky.social finally do something about this? statter911.com/2025/02/05/d...

(1) Watch: Helicopter routes on the east side of the Potomac River near Reagan National have been shut indefinitely. Below 🔽🔽 is STATter911 video of the Army Black Hawk traversing Route 1 to Route 4 (the two routes shut) about 90 seconds before the mid-air collision. (more) youtu.be/hsD0vEN7LUk?...

(1) Watch: Another tense one at Reagan National. On September 17, 2022, three days after the reported Marine/Coast Guard near miss (attached), a commercial jet crossed Runway 15/33 as another jet was on final approach to land on 33. (more) #aviation #reagannational

Watch: This was a reported near-miss on September 14, 2022 between Coast Guard & Marine helicopters. It's along the same routes shut by the FAA today following Wednesday's mid-air collision just south of where the near miss occurred. youtu.be/FOGkz-xy2fo #nearmiss

Deadly crash update: Here's the latest from ACPD on yesterday's crash in Ballston where a pickup truck raced down Wilson Blvd, at times, on the wrong side of the road. 32-year-old Xueweu He of McLean was killed. #Arlington #Ballston

For at least a half mile, a man raced toward Ballston at very high speeds, sometimes on the wrong side of the road. The video ⏬⏬ shows some avoided becoming victims by inches. One woman who turned onto Wilson Blvd. wasn't so lucky. A truly horrifying scene in #Arlington, VA yesterday afternoon.

NEW: Before deadly crash, pickup driver raced the wrong way at high speed along Wilson Blvd to Glebe. The truck passed an ACPD officer. A woman died in the collision. Video via safetyvid.com. Here's ACPD's information on the investigation: www.arlingtonva.us/About-Arling... #Arlington
