Crash kills 1, injures 6 in Ashburn

WASHINGTON — A two-car crash early Friday near the Redskins training facility in Ashburn, Va., killed one and injured six others.

The crash occurred when a pickup ran a red light at the intersection of Gloucester and Loudoun County Parkways, striking a sedan with six passengers at around 1:20 a.m., according to Virginia State Police.

One passenger in the sedan, 37-year-old Maria Haiderian, was killed.

The sedan’s driver, 36-year-old Zabuhullah Haiderian, was injured, as were four of his passengers, including two children, ages 5 and 3. The 3-year-old, who was not in a child safety seat, was ejected from the car.

The pickup’s driver, 39-year-old Nakia Wilkerson of Culpeper, was taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. She was charged with failing to obey a traffic light, police said.
