Police Learn Woodbridge Woman Died From Injuries In 3-Car Crash In Lorton

LORTON, VA — Fairfax County police recently learned that a 74-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in a three-car crash last November in the Lorton area, the police department said Thursday.

Officers responded to the three-car crash around 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 at the intersection of Ox Road and Palmer Drive. Boyce was driving a 2020 Honda Civic south on Ox Road and then attempted to make a left turn onto Palmer Road.
