Herndon Man Killed In Violent DUI Crash Identified

STERLING, VA -- Police have identified the Herndon man who was killed after a drunk driver slammed into a parked car and then a townhouse in Sterling on Friday night.

Police say Sabino Vasquez-Murcia, 29, died from his injuries at Reston Hospital after 39-year-old Julio A. Rivera, also of Herndon, lost control of his 1997 Dodge Ram in the 700 block of Colonial Avenue, according to a report from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

The LCSO report states that Vasquez-Murcia was a passenger inside Rivera's vehicle, but a RestonNow report indicates that he was sitting in the parked vehicle that was struck.

The townhouse had minor damage, and no one inside had any injuries, the LCSO report states.

Rivera faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, driving under the influence, and driving on a suspended license. He is being held without bond.
