WASHINGTON DC (June 24, 2025) – Two men and two women were injured in a crash in southeast D.C. on Saturday, June 21.
D.C. Fire and EMS responded to the collision shortly before midnight. Both cars had people trapped inside. Responders pulled two people from the cars before transporting all four to hospitals. Two females were in serious condition, one male was in critical and another male had non-serious injuries.
The crash occurred between two cars at the intersection of 14th Street SE and Potomac Avenue SE.
Being trapped in your car after a Washington, DC accident is a traumatic experience that typically indicates a serious collision. When emergency responders need specialized equipment like the “Jaws of Life” to extract you, the physical and legal implications can be life-changing.
Accidents that trap victims often involve side-impact crashes, rollovers, or head-on collisions that cause severe injuries including broken bones, spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, and psychological trauma. These cases demand immediate medical attention and careful legal consideration.
Document Everything: Once medically stable, obtain police reports from the Metropolitan Police Department, photograph your vehicle and injuries, and maintain detailed medical records.
Know DC’s Laws: Washington, DC follows contributory negligence rules, meaning even partial fault can bar recovery. The three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims makes prompt action essential.
Handle Insurance Carefully: While you must notify your insurer, avoid detailed statements before consulting an attorney. DC’s minimum coverage of $25,000 per person rarely covers serious injuries from entrapment accidents.
