Police Report Fatal Hit and Run on Franconia Road

A 69-year old man was killed on Franconia Road in a hit and run Sunday night, according to Fairfax County Police.

Police are investigating the overnight fatal pedestrian crash where the vehicle fled the scene, according to police. Around 10:43 p.m. the pedestrian, Khan Khan, 69, of the Alexandria area, was crossing Franconia Road, south to north, in the 5600 block (see map below).

It appears he stopped in the unprotected median to wait for passing traffic when he was struck by a vehicle traveling westbound. The vehicle and its driver failed to stop, police said.

Khan was found in the travel lanes at the intersection of Franconia Road and Brookland Road and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

It is unknown if speed or alcohol are factors in the crash. Detectives would like to speak with anyone who may have witnessed this crash or has information on the driver or the striking vehicle, believed to be a white, full-size van or truck.
