WASHINGTON — Police are asking for your help in identifying the vehicle and driver who struck and killed a teenage boy Saturday in Reston, Virginia.
Fairfax County police say state law prohibits them from releasing the 16-year-old’s name without parental consent.
They say the teen was trying to cross South Lakes Drive toward Castle Rock Square when the car struck him around 5:40 p.m. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say they are trying to determine whether the teen was using the crosswalk at the intersection.
Police believe a sedan was involved but don’t the model or color. On Saturday, they initially believed the sedan was gray or silver.
“The car would have heavy front-end damage,” a Sunday news release said.
Police ask anyone with information to contact the Crash Reconstruction Unit witness phone line at 703-280-0543.
