Juvenile Charged in Fatal Crash on Georgetown Pike

Detectives from the Fairfax County Police Crash Reconstruction Unit have charged a juvenile for the March 9 fatal crash on Georgetown Pike that involved three cars. Detectives determined the juvenile driver of the 2020 Audi A5 was traveling at a speed of more than 80 mph in the 35-mph speed zone. Detectives determined alcohol was not a factor in the crash. Yesterday, detectives obtained and served a petition for involuntary manslaughter for the 16-year-old. The juvenile was taken to the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center where he was held.

Victim advocates from our Major Crimes Bureau’s Victim Services Division have been assigned to this case to ensure the victim’s family is receiving appropriate resources and assistance. 

FCPD reported that a 62-year-old woman had died Sunday, March 13, 2022, from injuries sustained in a crash that occurred March 9. 


Officers responded to a crash around 3 p.m. on March 9 in the 8800 block of Georgetown Pike that involved three cars. The driver of a 2020 Audi A5 was traveling west on Georgetown Pike. The driver of a 2005 Nissan Sentra and the driver of a 1991 Toyota MR5 were both traveling east on Georgetown Pike. The driver of the Audi lost control of his car, crossed the double yellow line, and hit the Nissan head-on. The Audi then spun into the path of the Toyota, resulting in the Toyota rear-ending the Audi. 


The driver of the Audi was treated for injuries at the scene. The driver of the Toyota was taken to the hospital for injuries not considered life-threatening. The driver of the Nissan, Karla Boggess, of Berryville, was taken to the hospital and succumbed to her injuries four days after the crash.
