A crash on Christmas on Interstate 495 in Fairfax County killed a 15-year-old juvenile and a 75-year-old woman, according to Virginia State Police.
The names of the victims have not been released.
The double fatal crash occurred at 10:39 p.m. on I-495 eastbound at the 49 mile marker.
Troopers were initially called to the scene after witnesses reported a Toyota Sienna minivan located in the eastbound express lanes with heavy rear-end damage. All six occupants in the Sienna were taken to an area hospital. The two who died in the fatal crash were passengers in the Toyota.
A short distance from the Sienna, on the main lanes of Interstate 495, troopers located a damaged Dodge Ram pickup truck with two injured occupants. Both were taken to an area hospital.
The crash remains under investigation. No updates have been provided on the status of the other six injured individuals.
