Moped Driver Killed in Crash at I-66 Falls Church Exit

An Arlington man riding his moped was killed Thursday afternoon at the eastbound Interstate 66 Falls Church exit ramp and Virginia State Police say another car was involved but was not at the scene.

At 4:35 p.m. Thursday, Virginia State Police Trooper T.J. Patrick responded to a single-vehicle crash along Interstate 66 at the Falls Church exit ramp (I67 mile marker) in Fairfax County.

A black 2012 Intercept moped was lying on its side near the left curb of the exit ramp with severe damage, according to state police. Its rider, Jerry Knight, 51, of Arlington, was found deceased next to the moped, state police said. Knight was wearing a helmet.

There were no other vehicles at the scene when police arrived, but Trooper Patrick’s investigation revealed that the moped collided with another vehicle. Anyone who might have seen this moped or witnessed the crash is asked to please contact the Virginia State Police at 703-803-0026 or at questions@vsp.virginia.gov.
