A car accident at Reston Avenue and Leesburg Pike early Sunday has resulted in the death of a New York man.
Fairfax County Police said Devon Martin, 29, of New York City, succumbed to his injuries at Inova Fairfax Hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said they were called to the report of a crash on Leesburg Pike near the intersection of Reston Avenue on Sunday about 3:25 a.m.
Two vehicles were westbound on Leesburg Pike in the left lane, police said. The vehicle in front, a 1989 Ford LTL 9000, began to slow to make a left turn. The vehicle behind, a 2015 Chevrolet Cruz, was allegedly traveling at a high rate of speed, failed to stop and struck the Ford in the rear.
Martin was the right front passenger in the Chevrolet. He was transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Speed and alcohol are being considered as potential contributing factors in this crash, police said.
