Daily Mail – A women is dead after falling victim to violent road rage, police believe.
The 21-year-old from Fairfax got into an argument with the driver of a black Chevrolet SUV on the 7100 block of Harrison Lane in Hybla Valley.
She pulled up just after 11.30am on Friday morning and stepped out of her car to confront the driver, police said.
As she did so she was struck by another car. It is not yet known whether it was the same car whose driver she was arguing with.
‘We don’t know if the two knew each other, we don’t know what they were exchanging words or got into an altercation about,’ Mary Ann Jennings of Fairfax County Police told WTOP.
‘We don’t know that it’s road rage, but we’re certainly not ruling it out.’
The black SUV shot off, fleeing the scene and investigators are now searching for the car, described as having temporary tags.
Another SUV pulled up at the scene to help the woman and police have interviewed its driver but that is all they have to go on so far.
The woman sustained traumatic injuries to her upper body and was pronounced dead at a hospital. However the cause of death has not been established.
‘We simply don’t know yet whether she was hit by a car, whether she fell, or just exactly she came to be on the pavement unconscious,’ Jennings says.
Anyone with information is asked to call Fairfax County Police on 703-691-2131 or Crime Solvers on 1-866-411-TIPS/8477.
