A large tree fell across the George Washington Memorial Parkway at the height of morning rush hour.
On Tuesday November 24, 2009, shortly before 7:00 am, the tree fell across the northbound lanes near Turkey Run. This tree fell on six cars. Fortunately, no one in the cars was injured.
This snarled traffic for about two and one half hours while the National Park Service tree crews sawed and chipped the tree. All traffic was diverted onto Rt. 123 at McLean.
Apparently saturated ground from recent rains loosened the tree.
