I don't really have anything to add to this one:

Fatal crash in Lorton

A Woodbridge man has been charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter and drunk driving in a two-car crash that left a 53-year-old Groveton man dead.

At about 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3, Robert L. Thomas was driving northbound on Route 1 at the intersection of the ramp to Interstate 95 in Lorton. At the same time, Alfredo Martinez Rivera was driving in the southbound lanes of Route 1. Rivera lost control of his 2006 Pontiac and drove over the concrete median and straight into Thomas' 1996 Saturn, police said.

Thomas was pronounced dead at the scene.

Rivera, of 13102 Kumar Road, was treated for injuries not considered life-threatening. He is now being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.

This is the 11th traffic fatality in Fairfax County this year. There were 33 fatalities at this time last year, police said.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
