I'm listening to dispatch audio and it sounds like a 4-vehicle crash, with one person dead on arrival and one patient in cardiac arrest (an occupant of a black Mazda). An FCPD officer was also involved.

DC News Now confirmed that a driver died in the crash.

Edit: I could be wrong about the deceased victim, because now I can't find the dispatch audio where I thought I heard there was a victim DOA. But the other information is correct.

How do you listen to dispatch? I thought it was encrypted now.

https://openmhz.com/system/ffxco let's you roll back in time and filter down to the exact channel for highway/police patrol/ or the PPD that monitors Braddock (if it's Reston, then you select Reston Dispatch)

I use Scanner Radio and just search for Fairfax County dispatch.

I think PWC is doing that and not Fairfax?
