[Scan-DC] "Shuttle Bus" wreck on 95

[William Nicholson]

To be fair, that was an AP story, if I recall. It was meant for a broader
audience. The details of the exact location on I-95 would have meant
nothing to readers outside of the area. On the other hand, the Washington
Post, WTOP, etc., would be rightfully criticized for not including that
information. If this is the same Ed Tobias I knew of, we worked at the same
wire service, in difference places and in different jobs.
