Fairfax County Police are investigating a fatal e-scooter crash in Sully Square that resulted in the death of a 9-year-old boy on July 23. Detectives from the Crash Reconstruction Unit (CRU) responded to the 3000 block of Madden Court around 5:30 p.m. after reports of a collision between an electric scooter and a vehicle.
Preliminary findings indicate a 2012 Honda Odyssey, driven by an uninjured adult, was making a left turn from Highland Mews Court onto Madden Court when it collided with the boy's e-scooter in a parking area. The child was transported to a local hospital in critical condition and later pronounced deceased. Alcohol and speed have been ruled out as contributing factors in the incident.
CRU detectives are reviewing video footage and all available evidence to determine the full circumstances of the crash. The Health & Wellness Division and Victim Services Division are providing support to the victim's family and the community. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Crash Reconstruction Unit at 703-280-0543 or submit anonymous tips through Crime Solvers.
