WASHINGTON — A Virginia man was killed in a head-on collision early Wednesday on U.S. Route 15 near Lucketts, Virginia.

Shortly before 6 a.m., authorities said, a 2008 Ford F-150 traveling southbound crossed over the center line just south of Montresor Road, near Raspberry Falls Golf and Hunt Club.

The pickup collided with a northbound 2013 Subaru Impreza.

The Subaru’s driver was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department. The pickup’s driver declined treatment.

U.S. 15 was closed in both directions for over two hours afterward.

The circumstances of the crash remain under investigation.

A golf course for ‘the people’ faces a presidential makeover

WASHINGTON (AP) — A pack of cyclists whisked by along the circuit at East Potomac Park while the golf course parking lot filled with luxury SUVs parked next to older, inexpensive economy cars, all with the Washington Monument in the background. The scene highlighted what residents say are the park's best features: its accessibility and affordability right in the nation's capital. The historic park, especially the golf course, has caught the eye of President Donald Trump, who wants to turn it into a world-class golf venue. It's part of his grand vision for Washington, D.C., where he has torn down storied structures, remade or renamed others and deployed the National Guard for more than a year. But some residents fear the planned changes to the golf course — where Trump has visited with a cabinet member, a well-known golf course architect and blueprints — risk altering the character of a place that has served Washingtonians of many stripes for more than a century. Turning the park into an upscale golf course will mean costlier fees and a loss of public space, residents worry.
