Virginia: Police investigating fatal crash, reckless driving incident on I-95
Two people have been charged with reckless driving as a result of a four-vehicle accident on Interstate 95 southbound at mile marker 134 in Stafford County on Saturday morning.
At 8:15 a.m., Christopher P. Johnson, 35, of Powhatan, shifted his 2004 F-150 from the center lane to the right lane while traveling southbound a mile north of the Falmouth exit. As Johnson shifted lanes, his vehicle crashed into a 2012 Nissan SUV being operated by Alexandra M. Seaman, 24, of Woodbridge. Seaman’s vehicle was carrying a passenger, Amanda R. Brunner, 35, also of Woodbridge.
The Nissan slid off the right side of the road and struck the 2013 Ford Taurus of Virginia State Police Trooper K.J. Zalasar, 30, who was performing a traffic stop on the right shoulder. The trooper’s vehicle was pushed into the 2002 Audi the trooper had stopped.
The Audi was occupied by William J. Reynolds, 21, of Fredericksburg.
Seaman, Brunner and Reynolds were transported to Mary Washington Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Trooper Zalasar was also treated for non-life-threatening injuries and later released from Mary Washington.
Johnson and Seaman were both charged with reckless driving.
