An elderly woman was killed and three others were injured in an afternoon crash at the intersection of Ox Road and Zion Drive Thursday.
The two cars, both Lexus sedans, collided with each other at the intersection just before 1 p.m., said police spokesman Officer E.J. Azcarate. The crash resulted in severe traffic along Ox Road hours after the accident.
The elderly woman was in her vehicle alone and died at the scene, police said.
The second Lexus contained a woman and two young children, Azcarate said. They were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and were in serious condition.
Azcarate said that police would not be releasing the names of anyone involved until their families were notified of the crash.
Traffic investigators are looking into the cause of the crash. No further information was available at this time.
But it always amuses me when press states that no names will be released until families are notified, then posts pictures, sometimes with license plates visible, or identifying information. Not necessarily in this case (though an 80-year-old woman in a silver Lexus,with license plate # visible?), but I've seen "four freshmen at UVa, driving an orange Mustang and returning from a visit to GMU", for example.
Second, I had the same reaction that Robert and Dee had--"elderly?". I think we've picked up on something that media outlets are going to have to rethink as we all live longer and understand aging so much more than before.
