This is the most recent accident i could find, it was started by a head-on collision and it triggered a six car pileup, six people were sent to the hospital and one died this morning (Caroline Petroya, 24), you may have the timing of the accident confused with the timing of the person dying. some drunk asshole decided to take a trip down the wrong side of the beltway, i think he was killed on impact and i hope so because that idiot F-king earned it.
