U.S. 1 to Close for Crash Probe

Lorton, Va. –– Drivers who want to use Richmond Highway in south Fairfax on Thursday morning will have to find another way.

Police will close both the north and southbound lanes of the four-lane highway at the intersection of Fairfax County Parkway between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

Investigators will reconstruct a fatal crash that took the life of 54-year-old Paul J. Krause of Fairfax Station.

Officers will divert traffic from Richmond Highway onto Fairfax County Parkway and Telegraph Road, according to police.

Carlos Sanchez Ramos, 33, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in Krause’s death, as well as DUI and contributing the delinquency of a minor, as a 3-year-old was inside Ramos car at the time of the crash, police said.

U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement today said Ramos had already once been deported from the U.S. as an illegal immigrant, and then illegally reentered the county in 2003.
