Just drove by the Sunoco in University Mall on Braddock across from GMU... at least 10 cop cars and a bunch of kids in handcuffs sitting on the ground. Any idea? Another typical day for FCPD?

A bunch of kids in handcuffs? I thought they only show Rocky Horror on Saturdays.

Do people post this type of topic just to get attention? The police stop people every day for stuff. Normal people may try to get a look and then keep on moving, thankful that they are not wearing braclets, and then get back to driving, sipping on the giant latte and listening to the radio.

Who the f*ck cares why they were being detained? Get a life!

You know, half the time when people like this post this type of bullshit I kind of imagine them as the goofy arsonist who started a fire and then watched with joy as the fire trucks start to arrive only to stand around and ask "what happened?"

Ben is probably part of the group of little shits who were detained would be my guess.

Yes, police helicopter overhead, eastbound Braddock blocked off (traffic not permitted - it was being routed onto south Ox), lots of police officers bearing lots of scary looking weapons, police tape around the Sunoco station and parts of the mall ... this isn't very typical. Couldn't discern what was going on, exactly, but whatever it was, the event stole many minutes from many lives waiting in traffic.

Was there a local contractor involved?

I was there, a truck driver had a heart attack, ran over a curb, and ran into a pedestrian at the Sunoco and ran into a minivan too. At least the driver and pedestrian died. I'll post pics when I get home

first 3 are the minivan crushed by the truck to the left
4 is the door of the truck on the left that ended up in front of the other truck
5 is the curb he ran over, knocking over a crosswalk light
6 is a car right inside the sunoco he evidently ran over or next to, destroying the hood
7-9 are the other side of the minivan

Oh and nobody was in handcuffs... don't know where you got that. just a bad accident

Guess that explains why my blinds weren't installed today.

I should have tipped the trashman

Damn lucky that none of the vehicles hit the pumps...could have been much, much worse. Although this wreck is pretty damn bad anyway. @Ima Witness, thanks for sharing your pics.

Wonder who bought it? Must've sucked to be the pedestrian or in that minivan.

NP, @Unbelievable.
Also, I didnt get a picture of it, but the back of the recycling truck, the one that crashed, had one of those "how am I driving" numbers on it. So funny but so wrong. Almost called it.

They got away this time. But I'm not giving up!
