Two possibly injured in Ward Circle crash

By Christopher Cottrell

A van collided with a Jeep Cherokee on Nebraska Avenue near Ward Circle Wednesday night, potentially injuring both drivers.

Jenny Bruhn, a Swedish tourist who witnessed the accident said she saw the van veer across the center yellow line before colliding with the other car.

“I saw that he was driving a bit wobbly and so I looked and he went over the yellow line and he hit the car by the side,” Bruhn said.

“I don’t know if he turned up, but he went up onto the sidewalk and into the tree,” she added.

Both vehicles were clearly damaged, but D.C. Fire Department Battalion Chief Larry Jackson confirmed there were only two possible injuries.

“Two vehicles involved. Possible two injuries and they’re being evaluated — transported for evaluation,” Jackson said.

No AU students were involved.

    The person in the Jeep is my partner. I am trying to find the witnesses who were at the accident scene in order to help him as he was injured and cannot help at this time.  Thank you for outstanding reporting.
