Usman Shahid, 18, of Fairfax, is expected to turn himself over to authorities on Thursday, June 23, Fairfax County police announced. Shahid will be arraigned on involuntary manslaughter charges, officials said. 

Shahid was speeding in his BMW down Blake Lane when he crashed into an SUV at the intersection with Five Oaks Road in Oakton, police said. The sedan ricocheted off the SUV and into three girls on the sidewalk. The car clipped several mailboxes and knocked down a utility pole before stopping. 

Two of the girls died later that day at an area hospital. The third was seriously injured. Responders took Shahid and one of his teenage passengers to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. 

Shahid graduated from Oakton High School the week before the wreck, police told NBC4. It's unclear if he knew the girls.
