Route 210 in Fort Washington is one of the most dangerous roadways in the DMV - and now the county's top leaders are giving drivers a stern warning.

"We are going to enforce the traffic laws. We're going to be looking for you," said Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks.

Each year the number of accidents, we still have this level of collision, this level of tragedy," said Prince George's County Chief Hank Stawinski.

We're told the driver was released from custody earlier this week. His license is suspended however he can drive to and from work.
