A driver was killed in a crash Wednesday morning on southbound Interstate 95 at Lorton Road in Fairfax County, Virginia, and a police investigation slowed traffic there for several hours.

The fatal crash involved a tractor-trailer and a car. The tractor-trailer was stopped on the right southbound shoulder of I-95 when a southbound Toyota Corolla ran off the right side of I-95 and into the back of the tractor-trailer, Virginia State Police said.

The crash occurred at 7 a.m. Two right lanes of southbound I-95 after Lorton Road were closed.

The driver of the Corolla died. Police are notifying the driver’s family.

A reconstruction team needed to use some specific equipment, closing lanes, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

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.
