The car being chased wrecked shortly after noon and Virginia State Police took the suspect into custody “without incident,” according to Lt. Courtney Ballantine, a spokesman for the Alexandria Police Department.

State Police on the scene on Seminary Road indicated that they were in high-speed pursuit of a vehicle from I-395 that ended on Seminary Road just east of Fort Williams Pkwy. You can see a new sign from a pedestrian median refuge island on the front of the car. pic.twitter.com/X67zFzrTqy

The intersection was closed as of 1 p.m., but Ballantine said it should reopen shortly.
Police said Virginia State Police involvement meant the pursuit almost certainly started on one of the nearby interstates — the intersection is a mile away from I-395 — but the details on where and how the chase began were unclear.
NOTIFICATION :: The Alexandria Police Department is assisting the Virginia State Police in the intersection of Fort Williams Parkway and Seminary Road. The intersection closed. Expect police activity in the area.
