Two people were killed and six others were injured in a late-night crash on the Capital Beltway in Fairfax County on Christmas, according to WTOP.
Virginia State Police said the two-vehicle crash happened around 10:40 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 495. Troopers are investigating what led to the collision.
Police said a Toyota Sienna minivan carrying six people collided with a Dodge Ram pickup truck with two passengers. Two passengers in the minivan — a 75-year-old woman and a 15-year-old — were taken to a local hospital, where they later died, according to Virginia State Police.
The remaining occupants were also transported to the hospital. Police did not release details on the conditions of the two people in the pickup truck.
Investigators believe the crash occurred in the main lanes of I-495. Police said the minivan was found in the eastbound express lanes, while the pickup truck was located in the main lanes.
The investigation is ongoing. No additional details, including a possible cause, have been released.
