Eastbound traffic was disrupted for less than an hour Wednesday on U.S. Interstate 395 near Maine Avenue Southwest heading into the District of Columbia as climate activists sat in traffic.
That was the second traffic-blocking stunt by the group that calls itself Declare Emergency in D.C. this week. The first occurred on Monday, when 12th Street and Constitution Avenue NW were blocked in both directions.
The incident was reported at 10:39 a.m. in a post on X by a Metropolitan Police Department account dedicated to traffic updates. Motorists were incensed by the blockage, with one driver caught on camera by News2Share photojournalist Ford Fischer pushing protesters out of the way on the right shoulder to help a car get by.
Mr. Fischer posted the footage on X. The driver said amid a stream of expletives that she had an appointment to get to and a job shift as well. VIDEO THREAD: This morning during rush hour, an angry passenger got out of her car and physically pushed Declare Emergency climate activists out of her car’s way as they blocked the highway.
