“The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed the identity of the deceased as a 66-year-old man of Woodbridge through familial DNA collected during the investigation. Based on information obtained by investigators, there are indications the deceased may have intentionally walked along the trains and made no attempts to move off the tracks as the train approached and sounded its horn repeatedly. Following the investigation, and due to the incident not occurring at a crossing, the case will be classified as a death, possible suicide, and no longer a crash. Identified: The deceased was identified as Jay Douglas ALVEY, 66, of Woodbridge.”
“Fatal Crash Investigation [Previously Released] – On August 12 at 7:35 p.m., investigators with the Crash Investigation Unit responded to the Featherstone Road railroad crossing in the area of Featherstone Road and Marseille Lane in Woodbridge (22191) to investigate a pedestrian who was struck by a passenger train. The investigation revealed the pedestrian was walking within the tracks as the train was approaching the crossing. The train engineer sounded the train horn to warn the pedestrian, who continued to walk within the tracks before being struck by the train. Fire and rescue personnel responded to the scene where the pedestrian was pronounced deceased. No injuries were reported by anyone on the train. The pedestrian was transported to the Medical Examiner’s Office for identification. The identity of the deceased will be released once confirmed and a next-of-kin has been notified.”
