Crash witness: ‘I thought he was gonna hit me’

[ngg_images gallery_ids=”369″ display_type=”ds-nextgen_royalslider”]

An overturned car on Prince William Parkway caught the eye of drivers Tuesday.

Especially Buddy Baker, of Woodbridge, who was sitting on the side of the road with a flat tire and witnessed the crash. Baker said a coupe was traveling on Prince William Parkway in the direction of Woodbridge, in an S curve at the intersection of Scenic Point Drive, when it crashed into a road sign and overturned in the median.

“I thought we was gonna hit me,” said Baker.

After the crash, Baker ran toward the crashed car. Other drivers stopped to help, said Baker.

The driver of the car crawled out and immediately picked up his cell phone.

“We all asked him if he was OK and if there was anything we could do and he kept saying ‘I’m alright, I’m alright,” said Baker.

Police and fire and rescue crews were at the crash scene about noon. Drivers slowed to see the spectacle of the demolished car that crashed in wet, slippery conditions.

Baker said he saw rescue crews bandage the driver’s arm. The man who Baker identified as the driver was walking around and appeared to be speaking with crash investigators.

Baker was headed to Manassas from Woodbridge when his Honda Civic popped it’s back rear tire. He called a roadside assistance car that came to help him across from the crash scene.
