Update Friday 3 p.m.
A 58-year-old man was taken to a hospital Thursday after his Jeep struck several trees and overturned.
It happened while the man was traveling north on U.S. 1 in Woodbridge.
His 2009 Jeep Wrangler accelerated and the driver swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting other cars on the road. Then the driver swerved completely off the road and into some trees that line Fox Lair Drive, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
The Jeep overturned and the driver was taken to a local hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life threatening, said Perok.
The crash happened at the entrance to an apartment complex, and access to the neighborhood was cut off while crews worked Thursday afternoon to clean up debris left in the wake of the crash.
