Fairfax County, VA – May 7 – Police have charged a woman with felony hit-and-run following a fatal accident that left one person dead.

According to The Washington Post, the accident occurred on Friday, May 4, when an outbreak of road rage escalated to death.

Gloria McMillan, 32, and Shelinda Arrington, 21, were involved in a verbal altercation while driving in the Alexandria area of Fairfax.

Police believe McMillan crushed Arrington after she exited her vehicle. They found Arrington lying fatally injured on Harrison Lane, but McMillan was not at the scene of the accident.

Officials searched for McMillan’s dark-colored sport-utility vehicle and found it in Southwest Washington with the help of D.C. police.

McMillan surrendered Monday night around 7:30 p.m. at the Mount Vernon district police station.

    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?

    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?

    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?

    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
