FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — Detectives said a woman died Thursday night after a car hit an SUV in the Groveton area and ended up on the sidewalk.
The Fairfax County Police Department said the woman who died was Samantha Jennings-Jones, 36, of Alexandria.
Jennings-Jones was walking on the sidewalk near Richmond Highway and Clayborne Avenue around 9:20 p.m. Officers said the driver of a car was heading south on Richmond Highway as the driver of an SUV that was heading north was trying to turn left onto Clayborne Avenue.
