Fairfax County Police Department News

Franconia Police District – An investigation is underway after 46-year-old Glenda Quiroz was hit and killed by a pick-up truck while standing at her mailbox in the 7000 block of Beulah Street in the Alexandria area of Fairfax County around 2:45 yesterday afternoon. A preliminary investigation determined that a 2013 Nissan Frontier pick-up truck was traveling southbound on Beulah Street from the Franconia-Springfield Parkway, when it appears the driver had a possible medical emergency. The pick-up left the roadway, and as the driver corrected and came back on to the street, the truck hit Quiroz before coming to a stop a short distance down the road. The driver was taken to the hospital with a life-threatening condition. Quiroz was pronounced dead at the scene. Speed and alcohol do not appear to be a factors at this time.
