McLean Police District – Detectives from our Traffic Safety Division have arrested two drivers involved in illegal street racing following the circulation of a video on social media.

On October 29, a Real Time Crime Center detective was alerted to a circulating social media video showing a Tesla Cybertruck and Lamborghini illegally racing on October 13 near  Leesburg Pike and Westwood Center Drive in Tysons.

Detectives were able to identify the driver of the Cybertruck as Christian Camacho, 48, of Vienna, and the Lamborghini’s driver as Carlos Montero, 37, of Sterling.

On November 1, Camacho turned himself in at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and was charged with Racing and Stopping on the Highway. Montero was arrested the same day and  taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. He was charged with Racing, Stopping on the Highway, and two counts of Improper Lane Change. Both were later released on an unsecured bond.
