An early morning crash on Route 28 in Prince William County killed four people and injured five others Saturday, according to county police.
Those killed all were occupants of a Dodge Intrepid that police believe might have been involved in an earlier hit-and-run accident close to a nearby restaurant, Prince William County Police Department spokesman Officer John Bogert said. The bodies of the two men and two women, who were pronounced dead at the scene, had not been identified as of Saturday afternoon.
The Intrepid was traveling northbound on the highway when it struck a Ford Mustang pulling onto the road, flipped and struck an oncoming Mercedes in the southbound lane, Bogert said.
The crash occurred between Maplewood Drive and Leland Road at around 1:57 a.m., he said. Two other occupants of the Intrepid were flown to Inova Fairfax Hospital in serious condition, and two occupants of the Mustang were treated and released at Prince William Hospital, according to the officer. He said a man in the Mercedes was also airlifted to a hospital in serious condition, but that he is expected to live.
