Fatal Crash in Fairfax Station

Sully Police District – Police responded to the report of a single vehicle crash on Chapel Road near Glencove Drive on Monday, July, 5 shortly after 1 a.m.

Crash reconstruction detectives determined that a 2000 Ford Explorer was traveling south on Chapel Road at a high rate of speed. The vehicle crested a hill and the driver lost control. The SUV ran off the left side of the roadway and struck a tree with the passenger side. Myron Day, 31 of Longwood Court in Woodbridge was ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. There were five additional occupants including the driver. The 14, 15, 17, and 21-year-old passengers were transported to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The 20-year-old driver was uninjured and remained on the scene.

The investigation continues and charges are pending.

Speed appears to have been a factor; alcohol does not.
