Prince William police have identified the motorcyclist killed in this morning’s crash.
Following an investigation, Prince William police stated that a 2013 Honda Accord, driven by a 47-year old Fredericksburg man, was traveling south on Route 1, when it struck the victim, 31-year old King George man Dustin Schexnayder.
According to Prince William police, Schexnayder was driving in the middle of the roadway. Officers found the damaged motorcycle – a 2007 Hyosung GT650 – in a nearby wooded area.
Prince William police stated that while Schexnayder was driving the motorcycle, going south on Route 1, it left the roadway and hit a guard rail. After being hitting the guard rail and being separated from his motorcycle, the driver of the Honda Accord struck Schexnayder, stated Prince William police.
This is allegedly not the first time that Schexnayder has had an incident while driving a motorcycle. In July of 2014, he was involved in a crash with a driver in Georgia.
Prince William police are unsure if speed or alcohol were factors in the crash, or if Schexnayder was wearing a helmet. He was pronounced dead at the site of the accident.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
