Two people killed outside vehicles on D.C. area highways:

Two people were killed on major Washington area highways Friday in separate but similar incidents that occurred after the victims got out of damaged or disabled vehicles.

One incident happened shortly after 1 a.m. on the Baltimore- Washington Parkway in the Laurel area, and the other about 3 p.m. on the Dulles Toll Road near Tysons Corner, according to authorities.

The most recent accident occurred after a taxicab and a pickup truck collided in the eastbound lanes, and the drivers got out, said a spokesman for the agency that operates the airport and the road.

A sport-utility vehicle hit the other two vehicles, which were in a center traffic lane. The pickup driver, who was apparently near his vehicle, was fatally injured.

I saw the congestion resulting from the one on the toll road. Looked ugly. Lots of firetrucks and emergency vehicles and an epic back up.

People are so scared of everything, but they don't think twice about hopping in the car they will someday die in.
