Suspected drunk driver hits 'entire crew' of road workers on Virginia interstate, officials say

An entire crew of road workers was injured – some critically – after a suspected drunk driver struck the group on an interstate in northern Virginia early Thursday morning.

The accident happened on the westbound lanes of Interstate 66 around 12:20 a.m. just past the Lee Highway exit in Arlington County, according to the Arlington Fire Department.

"An entire crew of road workers struck by a vehicle on 66WB," the rescue agency said.

The Virginia State Police told FOX5 a GMC Yukon struck a total of six construction workers on the interstate.

Probably has several DUI's and other Drinking related convictions. We really need a website list of these killers in the making.

Good thing it happened in the middle of the night, or the traffic would STILL be backed up on RT 66.

6:50 would you want to live down the street from a habitual drunk driver? Would you let your children play in the front yard knowing this killer could run them over?
If a public shaming list was put out it would protect families and children for these potential killers.
Add to the website law that get a special colored license plate for their car to tell folks on the road around him he is a potential killer!
He has no respect for the laws of this country nor the safety of you and your family!

Everybody that drives a car is a "potential killer." And calling a person convicted of drunk driving a "killer" is just wrong, and shows an extreme and unbalanced bias on your part. (before you say you didn't say that, read your second sentence). It not about "respect," it's about alcoholism. These people have what has now been classified a disease. They don't intentionally go out to kill "you and your family." They just have to drink. Lengthy sentences for repeat offenders and rehabilitation will do much more to protect the public than public shaming. Public shaming won't change anything, but it makes you feel better. Go figure.
