Another fatal crash on Interstate 66 in Fairfax County

Less than 24 hours after the violent head-on collision on Interstate 66 that killed two women, a young woman was killed in another fatal crash on that highway.

This crash happened on Monday, November 17, 2008, at about 11:30 p.m., on eastbound I-66 near Nutley Street in Vienna.  This time, a mattress was on the highway.  A box truck driven by Richard Moon of Herndon swerved to miss the mattress; however, Kritika Singh, 21, who was driving behind the box truck, was not so lucky.  The Isuzu Rodeo she was driving hit the mattress, ran off the side of the road and hit the truck.  Ms. Singh was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the car.  Her passenger, Vjjwal Joshi of Fairfax, who was wearing a seatbelt, received minor injuries. 

Police are looking for witnesses to help them complete their investigation.
