Drunk Driver Gets Passenger Killed In Reston: Police

RESTON, VA -- A man has died after the car he was riding in crossed the median of a roadway and struck a Porsche Sunday afternoon in Reston, and police have charged the driver with driving while intoxicated.

Police responded to the intersection of Baron Cameron Avenue and Lake Fairfax Drive at around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, and determined that a 1987 Toyota MR2 was traveling south on Baron Cameron Avenue when it crossed the center median and struck a 2008 Porsche traveling northbound, according to a report from the Fairfax County Police Department.

The passenger in the Toyota, 42-year-old Miguel Jimenez of Falls Church, died of his injuries at the hospital. The driver, 45-year-old Jose Jimenez-Yapura, had non-life-threatening injuries.
