Crossing Georgia has learned of a three-car, hit-and-run accident near the county's most notorious intersection.  On 6/18/07 at 2:44 PM, two cars passed under the Beltway headed north on Georgia Avenue.  A car in the middle lane swerved left and collided with a car in the left lane.  The car in the left lane lost control, spun into the southbound lanes and collided with another car headed south.  The car that caused the accident sped away through the Georgia-Forest Glen intersection and was not apprehended.  The two other cars were towed.  We do not know if any Georgia-Forest Glen pedestrians were crossing at the time the hit-and-run driver escaped the scene.

This accident is an example of the chaos prevailing at the confluence of Georgia Avenue, Forest Glen Road and the Beltway interchanges.  We believe that pedestrians should be removed from these dangerous conditions through a new Metro entrance on the eastern side of Georgia.  You can view the police report on this accident here:
