It's unclear why, but Abdellah Bougrine, 54, of Alexandria, and Driss Bougrine, 59, stopped their Toyota Corolla in the center westbound lane of Interstate 495 around 11 p.m. near Telegraph Road and got out.

Moments later, a Ford Ranger slammed into the two men and their car, Virginia State police said in a news release. An oncoming Mazda also hit one of them as well. Both died at the scene. The driver of the Ford and Mazda were unharmed.

Police shut down the Inner Loop of 495 for several hours as they tried to make sense of it all. Police are still investigating the incident. No charges have been filed.
