Man Charged After Multiple Crashes, Attempted Carjackings On I-95

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — A man is facing multiple charges after authorities said he crashed into several cars and tried to carjack three vehicles in an attempt to evade police.

Jamarion Jackson, 22, was charged with felony hit and run, attempted carjacking, reckless driving and multiple weapon counts following the series of incidents that occurred near mile marker 163 on Interstate 95 in Fairfax County, Virginia State Police said in a news release.

Shortly before 11:30 a.m. Thursday, state police said a trooper observed a Hyundai Genesis pass him on the right shoulder of the interstate at a high rate of speed. As the trooper maneuvered to try to stop the Hyundai, the suspect vehicle hit three other cars, police said.

According to police, the driver — later identified as Jackson — ran from his car and tried to enter two other vehicles without success.

When Jackson found a third vehicle with the passenger window rolled down, police said he tried to enter the car through the window; however, the car's driver turned the vehicle, causing Jackson to fall and be run over.

Jackson was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a collapsed lung and a broken back and neck.

Police searched Jackson's car, authorities said, where they found narcotics, marijuana, a pistol and equipment to turn the gun into an automatic firearm.

According to police, Jackson could also face federal gun charges.
