4:03 pm
assault on a police officer, aggravated reckless driving and driving without a permit. we don't have identity of the person or we don't foe where that car is registered. they're just starting to clear the scene and things are returning to normal. what is apparently a traffic incident, a rather serious one, also for a short time became a suspicious vehicle incident and all of those protocols went into place here to make sure things are safe. the scene is clearing. shouldn't see any traffic disruptions beyond the usual this time of day. but an investigation is, obviously, ensuing into how all of this got started. we are live on capitol hill, derrick warden, news 4, back to you. >> this sounds familiar, you may remember another security scare on the hill just a few months ago back in march, 20-year-old woman from the district sped away from a traffic stop and nearly hit a capitol police officer, that incident happened near the bo tannic driver. she wasn't hurt in the incident. at the time her family said she
