Week in McLean: Fatal Pedestrian Crash in Tysons

A man died as a result of injuries from a crash that occurred just after 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12, in the Tysons area of Fairfax County. Crash Reconstruction Unit detectives have preliminarily determined that 77-year-old Daniel Benson, of Vienna, was assisting his wife who was involved in a separate property damage crash at the intersection of Old Courthouse Road and Westwood Drive. Mr. Benson was hit while carrying items across the roadway to his own car. A Chevrolet Cruze was traveling westbound on Old Courthouse Road when it struck Benson, causing him to hit the side of a Toyota Echo traveling in the eastbound lane. Both drivers remained at the scene and are cooperating with detectives. Neither speed nor alcohol appear to be factors in the crash. At this point, no charges are expected – according to FCPD.
