Original post
At 9:46 a.m., Virginia State Police were called to a two-vehicle crash in the westbound lanes of Interstate 66 just west of Exit 47 for Route 234 in Prince William County. A Chevrolet Lumina was westbound on I-66 in the center lane when it turned left across the HOV lane. It appears the driver was attempting to turn into the emergency cross-over in the median. A westbound Ford Ranger pickup truck traveling in the left lane was unable to stop in time and struck the Chevrolet Lumina in the driver’s side.
The driver of the Chevrolet Lumina, an 89-year-old Manassas woman, died at the scene. State police are still in the process of locating and notifying the woman’s next of kin.
The driver of the Ford Ranger pickup truck and his passenger were both transported to Prince William Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The drive was a male teenager and the passenger a female teenager. Both were wearing seat belts.
No charges will be filed. The crash remains under investigation at this time.
