Duck, Goose! Daffy Fowl to Blame for Route 7 Fire, Road Closure

One Virginia goose appears to have learned the hard way what happens when birds of same feathers don't fly together.

A goose flew into an electrical wire near Leesburg Pike and Gallow road this morning, causing it to fall across Route 7 and start the small brush fire that shut down Eastbound lanes near Gallows Road, Le-Ha Anderson, spokeswoman for Dominion Power, told Patch.

"One building was without power initially, but we have had to de-energize power to another 30 customers to make final repairs," Anderson told Patch.

Dominion had to close lanes in both directions on Route 7 to finish the repairs, which were expected to be done by 1 p.m.

Fairfax County police sent officers to redirect traffic.

It's not clear if the goose survived the accident.
