Reston Teen Succumbs to Crash Injuries

In the early morning hours of Jan. 2, Jose Armando Sanchez Aguilar, 18, of Reston, was involved in a single-car crash that left him in critical condition. Last Wednesday, Jan. 17, he succumbed to his injuries.  

The day of the crash, police officers from the Fair Oaks District Station responded to the Fairfax County Parkway, south of Franklin Farm Road in Fair Oaks, at 5:05 a.m. There, they found a 2011 Honda Civic that had crashed into the sound-barrier wall. The driver, Sanchez Aguilar, was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. His passenger, an adult woman, was also taken to the hospital; however, her injuries were considered non-life threatening.

Detectives from the police Crash Reconstruction Unit determined Sanchez Aguilar was traveling southbound on the parkway when he lost control of his vehicle, and it left the road and struck the sound barrier. Preliminarily, police say “speed and alcohol are believed to be factors” in this crash.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Crash Reconstruction Unit at 703-280-0543. Tips may also be submitted anonymously through Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS (866-411-8477).
