STAFFORD, Va. — A man is facing charges after reportedly getting into a fight with a Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority officer following a crash in Stafford County Wednesday afternoon.
According to Virginia State Police, a Mercedes sedan was going south on Interstate 95 when the vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway near mile marker 135. The Mercedes hit a guardrail at one point, causing it to overturn.
Two other drivers, including a Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority officer, pulled over to the side of the road in order to help whoever was inside the car. As the witnesses walked up to the crash, Virginia State Police claim the driver got out of the car and assaulted them.
Just after 2 p.m. deputies responded to the crash and found the driver fighting with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority officer. Deputies tried to put the driver in handcuffs, but claim he continued to fight.
All three people were taken to Mary Washington Hospital and are expected to be okay.
The cause of the crash and the fight are under investigation.
6 D C firefighters are on leave after an intense caught-on-camera fight with a man they'd responded to help.
