I was in the left hand lane, which is a “go straight only” lane. A red Mazda CX-5 with Maryland plates that was in the right lane next to me (also a “go straight only” lane) attempted to turn left onto Mass ave as we were crossing the circle and hit my car.

“The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been partially refilled to allow National Park Service staff and contractors to flush the pool’s piping system for the first time in more than a decade.
