Ugh, what a bad situation.

RIP to the woman who died, and lets hope that Davies has a fast recovery.

Not good....

3am??? Hmm, wonder what they were out doing.

I smell a vehicular manslaughter for the driver.

He wasn't driving.

Im sure you'll cosign this...

GW Parkway is one of the most absurdly dangerous roads in the Mid-Atlantic (if not the whole U.S.)

Because of it is considered to be a "scenic" route and is maintained by the US Park service it has a very minimal amount of overhead lights. It runs alongside the Potomac River (city lights don't illuminate it) and is an absolute bitch to navigate if you aren't familiar with it.

Here's an excerpt from a Wash Post article about an accident on the parkway last year. (Read down to the end for surprise lulz)

"The George Washington Parkway will be closed again this morning in both directions when rescuers resume their search for a motorcyclist who apparently went off the roadway and plummeted down the steep embankment toward the Potomac River.

The southbound lanes were reopened for several hours overnight, but northbound lanes remained closed.

Officers from the U.S. Park Police, the Arlington County police, the D.C. police and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police searched last night for nearly six hours without locating the missing biker.

The search was called off shortly before midnight and was scheduled to resume at sunrise, or about 6 a.m., officials said.

Officials said the parkway again will be closed northbound at the Spout Run Parkway and southbound at Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road). Last night's closing of the main traffic artery caused major backups as travelers returned from the long Memorial Day weekend. The southbound lanes were reopened about 12:15 a.m. today.

The search began yesterday evening after Arlington police got a call about 6 p.m. that a motorcyclist, riding alongside another biker, had driven off the cliff and vanished from sight, authorities said. The motorcyclist left the roadway about a mile north of the Spout Run exit, officials said.

Police said they did not know where the biker was from or why the motorcycle swerved off the roadway.

The other motorcyclist stayed on the scene during the search but declined to speak with reporters, said Carol Saulnier, a spokeswoman for the Arlington fire department.

After learning about the accident, police closed the northbound parkway to begin their search. But about 6:45 p.m., a Mercedes SUV traveling southbound on the parkway rolled over and sent a loose tire into the rescue effort.

"That's a huge safety issue for us. It was literally about 25 feet from where the rescue was," Saulnier said.

The driver was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.

The second accident prompted police to shut down the parkway in both directions."

not saying anything here, other than you dont know this, nor do I

It very well could be true, but friends switch for famous people all the time, just watch eastbound and down

They can probably deduce from the position, severity, and type of injuries whether or not he was driving, like in The Sopranos, to quote another HBO show

Yeah man a girl is dead and a young up and coming American athlete was injured to the brink of death...you really showed him who's boss. Fucking asshole

the first thing i think of when i hear ruptured bladder (or lacerated as described) and a 3am car crash is that someones bladder was full of urine due to excessive drinking and upon blunt impact asploded

...or he could just be a fragile soccer player

glglgl with the recovery

Also, I think it's pretty obvious the driver was doing way over the speed limit, which is only 45 mph where this occurred.

Meh. You still have to admit the parkway is ridiculously dark in some spots even for a competent, sober driver. Even on a clear night it's not the most drive-friendly road. Add in anything that reduces visibility (fog, rain, cloudiness etc) and you are one sudden bend away from a big drop and a dip in the potomac.
