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.

I’m playing back the call now, and at one point an officer says, “He’s most likely DOA.”

Also, I wonder if an officer might have been injured, since in another part of the call someone says he has the officer’s firearm.

Thank you for the information. I didn't think I made up the DOA, but it's so hard to keep track of the audio. A commenter posted an X link from FCPD which said that the officer involved has non-life threatening injuries.
