Road Rage Kills Man In Woodbridge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA—A man involved in a road rage incident was killed late Wednesday afternoon after getting out of his truck and then being hit in the area of Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road, according to Prince William County Police.

Larry Dean Walker, 53, of Woodbridge, died at the scene. No other injuries were reported. The other driver involved in the road rage episode remained at the site and is the one who called police. Another driver was involved in the fatal collision but not the road rage incident, at least directly.

Around 4 p.m., police arrived at the scene and found that a 1995 Ford F-Super Duty truck (driven by Walker) and a 2010 Mitsubishi Galant were headed north on Prince William Parkway. At some point they began arguing in road-rage fashion but had to slow down and then stop because of traffic.

That's when Walker got out of his truck and began to approach the Galant, driven by a 34-year-old Woodbridge man. So the Galant began to change lanes but collided with a Honda minivan, driven by a 68-year-old Woodbridge woman. That caused Walker to be pinned between the two vehicles—and investigators are trying to figure out which vehicle initially hit Walker.

Not factors in the incident: speed, alcohol or drugs. No charges have been placed, and the investigation is continuing.
