Wild Police Pursuit Leaves Driver Dead
In Fairfax County
A 39-year-old man was ejected from his
car and killed after leading cross-county police pursuit in northern Virginia
over the weekend.
Ashton Robinson, of Culpeper, fled the
scene of a DWI checkpoint in New Baltimore, in a 2011 Dodge Journey around 1:20
a.m. Saturday, April 22, the Fairfax County Police Department said.
Robinson was pursued by deputies from
the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office. As he entered Fairfax County heading east
on Lee Highway and Bull Post Office Road in Chantilly when he tried to pass a
2020 Toyota Camry, officials said.
Robinson struck the Camry, left the
roadway, then struck a guardrail. Robinson was ejected from the vehicle and
pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and passenger of the Camry
were not injured. Preliminarily, speed and alcohol appear to be a factor. No
Fairfax County officers were involved in the pursuit.
