A 26-year-old pedestrian died July 20 after she was struck by a vehicle in Great Falls, Fairfax County police said.
County police around 3:43 a.m. dispatched officers to Leesburg Pike and Downey Drive in Great Falls after receiving a report of a struck pedestrian. The vehicle’s driver initially left the scene, but returned shortly after, police said.
Preliminarily, detectives think that Giomarie Davila-Ocasio of Reston entered the roadway in the westbound lanes of Leesburg Pike. The driver of a 2016 Ford Explorer was traveling west on Leesburg Pike near the intersection and struck Davila-Ocasio, who was declared deceased at the scene, police said.
Detectives think alcohol was a factor in the crash for the pedestrian. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor for the driver, but the vehicle’s speed still is under investigation.
Police ask anyone with information about this crash to contact the department’s Crash Reconstruction Unit at (703) 280-0543. Tips also may be submitted anonymously through Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
