On April 13 at 1:20PM, investigators with the Crash Investigation Unit responded to the area of Minnieville Rd and Smoketown Rd in Woodbridge (22192) to investigate a three-vehicle crash. The investigation revealed the driver of a 2009 Mercedes E350 was traveling south on Minnieville Rd approaching Smoketown Rd when the driver disregarded a red traffic signal and proceeded into the intersection where the vehicle collided with a 2016 Toyota Highlander that was traveling eastbound on Smoketown Rd through the intersection. The impact of the collision forced the Toyota into another vehicle, a 2000 Honda Accord, that was stopped at a red traffic signal in the turn lane on northbound Minnieville Rd where the driver was waiting to turn left on Smoketown Rd. The driver of the Toyota was extricated from the vehicle by fire & rescue personnel and transported to an area hospital where he died as a result of his injuries sustained in the crash. The drivers of the Mercedes and Honda, along with a passenger in the Toyota were transported to an area hospital with minor injuries. Investigators with the Crash Investigation Unit are asking anyone who may have witnessed this crash to contact the police. Speed does appear to be a factor in the collision. Charges are pending. The investigation continues.
