Ashton Robinson, of Culpeper, fled the scene of a DWI checkpoint in New Baltimore, in a 2011 Dodge Journey around 1:20 a.m. Saturday, April 22, the Fairfax County Police Department said.
Robinson was pursued by deputies from the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office. As he entered Fairfax County heading east on Lee Highway and Bull Post Office Road in Chantilly when he tried to pass a 2020 Toyota Camry, officials said.
Robinson struck the Camry, left the roadway, then struck a guardrail. Robinson was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and passenger of the Camry were not injured. Preliminarily, speed and alcohol appear to be a factor. No Fairfax County officers were involved in the pursuit.
