Responders rushed Aquino to the hospital where he died of his injuries, police said. An underage passenger in the car was hospitalized with minor injuries. Police did not release any identifying information on the passenger because of their age. Though, they said the child remains hospitalized.
This is the fifth non-pedestrian traffic fatality in Fairfax County this year, police said.
