"textContent": "Emergency crews are on the scene of a crash that ended with a car bursting into flames on the Metro tracks in Fairfax County on Wednesday.\n\nOfficials say an \"unauthorized\" car was found on fire on the Metro tracks after a crash was reported on I-66 westbound prior to the Cedar Lane Overpass around 11:24 a.m. Wednesday.\n\nThe fire was put out, and one person was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.\n\nWestbound I66 HOV lanes and the Metro tracks are shut down until crews removed the car from the tracks around 1:30 p.m.\n\nPhotos of the crash appear to show a large hole in the fence separating the interstate from the Metro tracks.\n\nFurther details about the crash, including how the car ended up on the track, have yet to be released.\n\nIt is also unknown when traffic will resume.\n\nMetro riders can use Route F50 to travel between Vienna and Dunn Loring in the meantime.",
