Men arrested in Annandale after police pursuit
High [FCPS] |
A car evading police crashed into four cars before the driver was arrested on Little River Turnpike at Markham Street in Annandale at about 5:20 p.m. on Aug. 22, the Fairfax County Police Department reports.
The incident started when an officer tried to stop a car with illegal window tints. The car failed to stop and the driver struck four cars and drove through several yards. Officers decided to stop following the car due to the driver’s dangerous actions.

What beauties, especially the one with the orange hair. After they get out of jail they will be living in the Baileys Homeless shelter, pick pocketing shoppers and drinking in the Penny Park.
Did this start at Markham? Because the accidents involving the 4 cars was at the intersection of Braddock and Lincolnia RD. It honestly seems weird to chase a car, in a traffic heavy area, for tinted windows. And, it is odd they aren't more specific about where the accidents occurred.
As far as I'm concerned, there are almost no circumstances where car chases are warranted, and even fewer where high-speed pursuit is acceptable. It just endangers the community.
