A Virginia man is dead after his 2018 Ford Escape was struck by a speeding driver who allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of Ox Road and Hooes Road, police in Fairfax County said.
Brian Beyreuther, 45, of Lorton, died after the 8:40 p.m. Thursday crash.
Police said Beyreuther had a green light when he was making the left turn from Hooes Road to southbound Ox Road.
