Pursuit, crash, damaged sign gantry made for a busy and uneasy day for police, drivers on I-66

If you were driving home last night on Interstate 66, we don't need to tell you about the unusual delays on the highway.

  • A brief police pursuit, a car that crashed into a cantilever sign, and an overturned tractor-trailer all made for a difficult drive on Wednesday evening.

Virginia State Police tell us that t 1:45 pm, Virginia State Police began receiving calls about a Toyota Corolla driving recklessly in the westbound lanes of Interstate 66 in Fairfax County.

  • A trooper pulled in behind the Toyota and activated his patrol vehicle's lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop.
  • The Toyota refused to stop but was eventually forced to a stop in the travel lane due to slowing westbound traffic. As this was happening, Trooper Gundlach witnessed a Kia run off the left side of Interstate 66 and continue into the median where it hit a pole supporting a highway sign.
  • The impact of the crash with the pole caused the Kia to catch fire.

The trooper got out of his car.
