Two Teens Killed in Northern Virginia Crash

A tragic car crash recently took the lives of two Northern Virginia teenagers. The crash occurred early in the morning on Sunday, August 16, on Logmill Road in the Haymarket area. Police report that the teens’ car was traveling east on Logmill Road when it lost control and was struck by a westbound car. An officer from the Prince William Police Department says that both alcohol and speed are thought to be factors in this fatal crash.

The two teenagers have been identified as eighteen-year-old Stephen Dixon and fifteen-year-old Derek Meffert. Mr. Dixon, who was driving the car at the time of the accident, was a 2010 graduate of Battlefield High School in Prince William County. His passenger, Derek Meffert, would have been a sophomore at Battlefield High School this fall.

The driver and the passenger in the other car were both flown to the hospital. Their names have not yet been released, but police indicate that the driver was a twenty-two-old man from Haymarket and the passenger was a sixteen-year-old girl from Gainesville.

We extend our sincere condolences to the families of Stephen Dixon and Derek Meffert, and we wish a speedy recovery to those injured in this accident.
