Posted on Mar 15, 2011

According to a news release from the Fairfax County police,

The Fairfax County police are looking for witnesses to a horrible crash that occurred yesterday on Route One. You can call  the police on the non-emergency line at 703-246-2253

According to the release:

Paul J. Krause, of Fairfax Station, was killed on Richmond Highway near Fairfax County Parkway on Monday, March 14. Police responded to the crash around 5:22 p.m. and an investigation determined the victim, Krause, 54, of 7912 Glenbarr Court in Fairfax Station, was driving a 2010 Ford Fusion northbound on Richmond Highway. A man driving a 1994 Honda Civic, traveling in the same direction, apparently lost control of his vehicle and struck the Fusion. The Fusion was pushed into the southbound lanes of Richmond Highway and struck a 2010 Mercedes-Benz head-on.

According to the release, Krause was flown to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:44 p.m. The driver and passenger of the Mercedes, a 77-year-old man and 73-year-old woman, were ground transported to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Honda, Carlos Sanchez-Ramos, took a 3-year-old boy from his car and left the scene on foot; he was apprehended nearby. The child was not injured. A 31-year-old man was also in the suspect's vehicle but remained at the scene; he was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

 

Sanchez-Ramos, 33, of 8074 Grannview Court in Springfield, was charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter, driving while intoxicated, driving on an alcohol-related revoked license, child endangerment and two counts of felony hit and run.
