Man Dies in Fairfax County Parkway Crash

A Reston man was killed in a Sunday morning crash that started on Fairfax County Parkway and ended in the backyard of a Lou Alice Way home, police said.

The driver, Arturo Cruz Zaldivar, 22, of Cocquina Drive, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 20-year-old male passenger was treated for minor injuries.

Police were called to the scene at around 1:50 a.m. The police investigation has determined the 1988 Oldsmobile Bravada was traveling north on the Fairfax County Parkway, just past the intersection of West Ox Road, when the driver lost control of the vehicle.

The Bravada went off the left side of the road and rotated counter-clockwise. It traveled across the grass median and the southbound lanes of the Parkway then began to roll as it reached the shoulder of the road. It continued up the embankment, took out some trees and crashed through a wooden fence. The Bravada came to rest on its roof in the backyard of a home in the 13100 block of Lou Alice Way, police said.
