Listening to the metro frequencies in Arlington Virginia and getting some chatter about the metro collision that happened in the last hour. Pretty interesting stuff. Not much chatter yet since I'm just out of the range of NE DC EMS and police frequencies.Anyone nearby in VA or MD hearing anything?

Current info from WMATA and Fire/EMS confirms a head-on collision between 2 Red Line trains between Takoma Park and Ft Totten stations. 1 train car on top of another and DC Fire/EMS treating this as an MCI incident. 2 confirmed fatalities at this point and 60+ injuries. Many still trapped in in the train cars and currently being extricated.

More details to follow as they become available...
