Virginia State Police are asking anyone with information on a crash that occurred on Interstate 66 yesterday morning to come forward.
The crash killed a pedestrian and involved a man from Prince William County. The Virginia State Police tell us:
Virginia State Police Trooper K. Orr is investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash involving a pedestrian in Warren County. The crash occurred on December 4, 2019, at 5:45 a.m. on Interstate 66 at 11-mile marker.
A 2005 Toyota Sienna was traveling west on I-66 in the right lane when the driver lost control and collided with a 2016 Freightliner tractor-trailer that was traveling in the left lane. The impact caused the Toyota to run off the right side of the interstate and strike a pedestrian standing on the right shoulder.
The pedestrian, Oscar Fernandez, 60, of Alexandria, Va., had been involved in an earlier two-vehicle crash at that same location. He died at the scene. Fernandez’s remains were transported to the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Manassas for an autopsy and examination.
The driver of the Toyota, a 58-year-old male from Nokesville, Va., was treated on scene for minor injuries. He was wearing a seatbelt.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, a 68-year-old male from Temple, Penn., was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured in the crash.
Slick road conditions were factors in the cause of both crashes. Both crashes remain under investigation.
Anyone who may have witnessed either crash is encouraged to contact the state police at 540-662-3313 or area13@vsp.virginia.gov.

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.”
