This is the third traffic crash fatality in Fairfax County so far in 2024.
People are drving horrible lately, liked this morning, there was a truck yields right turn and cut off Infront of me and the one next lane, which meant the View truck driver cut 2 lanes when both cars on the way. Wonder why the driver did and the car next to me almost hit the View truck. Why hurry and why was so careless?
I agree. People are driving like they are the only people on the roads. Driving through red lights has become the norm now. They drive down the roads weaving in and out of lanes because no one is going fast enough. Police rarely pull anyone over anymore. It’s actually a miracle that there aren’t more bad accidents that cause deaths and serious injuries.
Police report that a second woman has died from injuries sustained in this crash. Hong Tang, 63, of Fairfax, was also a passenger in the Lexus.
