Update 1:35 p.m. Wednesday
Investigators don’t know why the driver of a Toyota Camry lost control of his car and fatally collided with a school bus Tuesday.
The victim has been identified as 28-year-old Stephen Agyin, 28, of Woodbridge. He was the only occupant in the car when it was traveling south on Minnieville Road in the area of Dumfries Road (Va. 234), ran off the right side of the two-lane road, overcorrected and crossed paths with a Prince William County school bus traveling in the opposite direction.
The collision caused the bus to hit a tree, and the driver, a 45-year-old woman from Manassas, was taken to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life threatening.
Agyin died on the scene.
A police investigation into what caused the crash has only determined that alcohol was not a factor, but Camry was traveling faster than the posted 45 mph speed limit for the road, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
