WASHINGTON, DC – Two people suffered injuries after their car crashed into a vehicle barricade early Sunday morning.

According to FOX 5, the single-vehicle crash occurred at the intersection of 2nd Street NE and East Capitol Street around 2:00 AM on April 10th.

A Volkswagen Jetta reportedly ran over several traffic cones before crashing into a raised vehicle barrier. The Jetta burst into flames on impact.

Passerby helped rescue the two occupants from the burning vehicle.

DC Fire and EMS also responded to the scene of the crash. The driver and passenger were taken to the hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Police have since charged the driver with driving under the influence and operating a vehicle with improper tags.

This firm provided some great information that I think almost anyone who has been in an accident could benefit from. You still may need a lawyer like Paul to handle some of the specifics.
One of the best firms i have ever worked with paul is amazing. Everything was clear and easy to understand . I love working with them. I recommend anyone to go to them .
This is my 2nd time using Paul Samakow for my auto accident. I am beyond happy with the outcome of my case. Evelyn, answered all my questions and kept me informed on my case.
I've had to attain the services of Attorney Samakow on two separate occasions, and both times I received outstanding customer service. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the legal process, which really helped put me at ease. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to his clients truly stand out. I highly recommend Attorney Samakow and his legal team to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy motor vehicle accident attorney.
Let me give you a honest review. This guy is the best lawyer you can get. All the other reviews are from people who got greedy and wanted a robust amount of money. First off, be thankful that you’re alive and breathing. This man is so patient and answers every message and his paralegals are also diligent and answer every question. Feel free to ask any questions. No question is a silly question. I waited 7 months for my settlement and it was worth the wait. Mr. Paul is the best lawyer out here and will get you the most you can get.
Paul and I worked on a burn case together. I was impressed with his knowledge in that area and the effort he put into the case. If you were a burn victim he is your attorney!
Great interactions, professional, seamless. The availability of both attorneys was phenomenal with questions with any concerns and transparency overall great experience.
Excelente servicio!
