Sully Police District – Detectives from our Crash Reconstruction Unit continue to investigate a two-vehicle crash that left one adult man deceased at the scene.

At 12:24 a.m. on Dec. 5th, officers responded to the intersection of Lee Highway and Clifton Road in Centreville. Officers found a 2013 BMW M3 and a 2012 Hyundai Sonata with severe damage. The driver of the Hyundai Sonata, Sohail Iqbal, 30, of Manassas, was declared deceased by Fairfax County Fire and Rescue at the scene.

The driver of the BMW was taken to the hospital for injuries considered life-threatening.  

Preliminarily, detectives determined the driver of the BMW was traveling southbound on Stringfellow Road approaching the intersection of Route 29. The driver of the BMW struck the Hyundai who was traveling southbound on Route 29.
