A fatal crash between a motorcycle and a truck closed a section of Route 28 in Fairfax County, Virginia, near Dulles International Airport.
It happened just before 2 p.m. Thursday on northbound Route 28 and McLearen Road between Herndon and Chantilly. The man on the motorcycle died at the scene, while the driver of the truck remained, a Fairfax County police spokesperson said.
Route 28 was closed northbound between Route 50 and McLearen Road for about 4 hours and 30 minutes as police investigated the crash.
Southbound drivers were initially reduced to a single right lane across from the scene, creating a backup as long as five miles, the WTOP Traffic Center reported.
