STERLING, Va. (WINA) – Virginia State Police continues its investigation of a fatal two-vehicle crash in Fauquier County. The crash occurred Monday, Jul 10, at 9:09 p.m. along Route 29 (James Madison Hwy) just north of Route 651 (Freemans Ford Rd).

A 2003 Honda CR-V driven by Corey D. Faison, 43, of Earlysville, was eluding law enforcement, traveling northbound on Route 29 in the right lane. During the course of the pursuit, the Faison swerved into the left lane in an attempt to avoid another vehicle that was stopped on the right shoulder. In doing so, the Honda collided with a Culpeper County Sheriff’s Deputy’s vehicle. The impact of the crash caused the Honda to run off the left side of the roadway and overturn.

Faison, who was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle, suffered life-threatening injuries and was flown to INOVA Fairfax Hospital, where he succumbed to those injuries on Wednesday.

The deputy was not injured during the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
