New details have been released after police were called shortly after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5 near the intersection of Dumfries Road and Fortuna Center to investigate a multi-vehicle crash, officials said.
The investigation found that a 33-year-old Stafford man was driving a 2007 Chrysler 300 with Dorothy Anne Fontain, 33, and a 5-year-old girl, both of Woodbridge, when he crossed into the opposite lane of traffic on Dumfries Road and was struck by a Chevrolet Suburban being driven by a 46-year-old woman in the opposite direction.
According to police, the force of the crash caused the Chrysler to carom off the roadway and onto a sidewalk while the Suburban came to rest facing in the opposite direction in the roadway.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
The Stafford man and Suburban driver were transported to the area hospitals with what were described as “serious, non-life-threatening injuries.”
Fontain was rushed to an area hospital and pronounced dead on Wednesday night, while the child died from her injuries on Thursday, April 6.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed as of Thursday afternoon.
