Ft. Belvoir, Va. –– A 48-year-old Ft. Belvoir man in dead after a crash Monday, and charges are anticipated for one of the drivers involved.
Fairfax County police this morning said a 32-year-old man was driving a Fastran shuttle bus on northbound U.S. 1 near Ft. Belvoir about 4 p.m. Monday when four cars in front of him slowed for a traffic light at Fairfax County Parkway.
The driver told police he did not see the light or the slowing cars and hit a 1995 Toyota Celica, said Fairfax police spokeswoman Shelly Broderick.
Inside of the Celica was the fatal victim in the crash, William S. Pitts, of Fort Belvoir Road, who was pronounced dead on the scene.
After shuttle bus collided with Pitts’ car, the impact caused a chain reaction forcing the Celica into the back of a 2004 Dodge pickup. That truck then hit a 2001 Dodge Caravan, which then hit a 2004 Chrysler sedan.
In all, eight people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and later released.
Police have not filed charges or identified the driver of the Fastran bus, but said charges are anticipated.
This is the second fatal crash at the same spot on U.S. 1 in a week.
On March 14, 54-year-old Paul Krause was died when his sedan was struck by a Honda Civic, forcing it into oncoming traffic.
The driver of that Civic, 33-year-old Carlos Lagos Ramos, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and has been identified as an illegal immigrant here in the U.S.
Krause leaves behind a wife and three daughters.
