A 20-year-old Manassas man is dead after a fiery crash on Interstate 66 in Fairfax County on Saturday.
Will R. Hernandez-Villalta died at the scene, according to Virginia State Police.
The fatal crash is under investigation. Charges are pending.
The accident occurred at 5:51 p.m. on I-66 westbound at the Fairfax County Parkway.
Hernandez-Villalta’s Nissan pickup truck was stopped for a mechanical issue in a travel lane when it was struck in the rear by the driver of a Honda Pilot.
The collision caused the pickup to run off of the left side of the main travel lanes, strike the bollards separating the main lanes and the express lanes and then cross the express lanes. The pickup then came to rest on the left shoulder and caught fire.
Due to impact, the Pilot spun and came to rest in the main travel lanes.
The driver of the Pilot, Danielle M. McKinnon, 38, of Chantilly, and a juvenile passenger suffered minor injuries.
Virginia State Police is asking anyone who may have witnessed this crash, or has video of this crash, to contact Trooper A. King at [email protected] or call (703) 687-2631.
