Police believe the man was arguing with the woman who was killed when he allegedly drove into oncoming traffic on purpose.
DUMFRIES, Va. — Police arrested a man who they say intentionally drove into oncoming traffic, killing a woman and a 5-year-old girl in Virginia.
According to the Prince William County Police Department, officers were called to the area of Dumfries Road and Fortuna Center Plaza just after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Officers say 33-year-old Mustafa Nofel Aljazairi was driving with a woman and a 5-year-old girl in a 2007 Chrysler 300 on Dumfries Road when the car veered into oncoming traffic and hit a 2013 Chevrolet Suburban that was going in the opposite direction.
The crash caused the Chrysler 300 to run off the road and onto a sidewalk, while the Suburban came to a stop facing southbound traffic.
Aljazairi was driving when he reportedly got into an argument with the woman riding in his car. That is when investigators say Aljazairi intentionally drove their vehicle into oncoming traffic, colliding with the Suburban.
Police say neither the woman nor the 5-year-old girl were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. Both were taken to an area hospital for help and later died from their injuries. The woman who died has been identified as 33-year-old Dorothy Anne Fontain. Due to the child's age, her identity will not be released.
Aljazairi was injured but is expected to survive.
The 46-year-old woman who was driving the Suburban was treated for injuries at an area hospital and is expected to be OK.
Aljazairi was arrested at his home in Stafford two days after the crash. He faces two counts of manslaughter and one count of malicious wounding. He is currently being held without bond.
