After an investigation, police were able to identify the Cybertruck’s driver as Christian Camacho, 48, of Vienna, and the Lamborghini driver as Carlos Montero, 37, of Sterling.

Police said that Camacho turned himself in on Nov. 1. He was charged with Racing and Stopping on the Highway. Montero, the driver of the Lamborghini, was arrested on Friday as well and charged with Racing, Stopping on the Highway, and two counts of Improper Lane Change.

Both men were released on unsecured bond.
