A crash on the Capital Beltway ended in a deadly road rage incident where police say one woman was killed, three others were wounded and a dog was stabbed to death Sunday afternoon in Annandale, Virginia.
Virginia State Police have identified the women who were stabbed as well as knife-wielding man who was fatally shot by a trooper in Fairfax County, according to police.
The stabbings and the shooting happened after a crash in the southbound lanes of I-495 just before 1:30 p.m. at exit 52, near the Little River Turnpike.
Police said Michelle Adams, 39, of Fairfax, died from her wounds. A dog was also killed.
Three of the women who were attacked were taken to the hospital with serious injuries: a 36-year-old, 37-year-old and 40-year-old.
A man later identified as Jared Llamado, 32, of McLean, was taken to the hospital where he later died.
Police said the trooper shot in self-defense after Llamado confronted him with a knife.
The trooper did not suffer any injuries during the altercation. He’s currently on administrative leave as the shooting is investigated.
Early findings suggest the stabbings took place after a crash on the Capital Beltway. Police said they’re still investigating the crash.
The main lanes of the Capital Beltway Outer Loop, before Little River Turnpike, were closed to traffic for several hours Sunday.
