A car left the roadway and careened into a backyard, where it hit a tree.

The car was traveling on Mine Road when it veered off of the four-lane road and crashed into a tree in the yard of a home on Alder Drive and eventually rested on a bank. No one was seriously injured.

According to initial reports, an off-duty police officer was first on the scene at about 4 p.m.

Initially, 911 callers reported the car struck a house. Emergency crews arrived and determined the house had not been damaged.

There’s no word yet on any charges in the crash. We’ll update this post with new information once we have it.

NOVA’s Concierge Medicine Boom is a Game Changer for Patients

By: Specialdocs

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
