Fair Oaks Police District – Detectives have a man in custody for striking and killing a 75-year-old woman today, Friday, April 14, near the intersection of Route 50 (Lee Jackson Memorial Highway) and Rugby Road, in Fairfax. Officers were called for the report around 10:15 a.m. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation determined she was crossing Rugby Road traveling eastbound. A 2016 Dodge Dart traveling southbound on Rugby Road struck her, then turned around and struck the victim a second time before leaving the scene. Crash Reconstruction and Homicide detectives responded to investigate. They are looking into the possibility the victim was intentionally run over. It does not appear the victim and suspect were known to each other.
