Police Seek Witnesses to Fatal Crash in Dranesville
Reston Police District – A Herndon man died after he was struck while standing outside of his car. Shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 15, the man was driving a 1999 Mazda 626 east on Route 7. At the intersection of Dranesville Manor Drive, the car apparently experienced mechanical difficulties and stopped in the right travel lane. The driver activated the emergency flashers and got out of the car.
A 39-year-old Alexandria-area man, driving a 2005 KIA AMANTI, was also traveling east on Route 7 and failed to stop before striking the rear of the Mazda. After striking the car, the KIA then struck the man standing outside the Mazda.
19-year-old Kyle Alec Rowley, of 1126 Stuart Hills Way in Herndon, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the KIA was flown to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Neither speed nor alcohol appear to be a factor in this crash.
Electronic sign boards are being put in place at the site of the crash asking witnesses to call police.
The crash is still under investigation and police are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866- 411-TIPS/8477, e-mail at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org or text “TIP187” plus your message to CRIMES/274637 or call Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.
