    Two Loudouners involved in Fairfax fatal crash

    Two Loudoun residents were involved in a crash April 29, and one has
    since died, according to Fairfax Police.


    Sterling resident Haik Vartanian, 53, was crossing Leesburg Pike at
    Old Gallows Road and had just entered the second traffic lane when he
    hesitated. Vartanian, who was not in the crosswalk, was in the path
    of a 2000 Nissan sedan, which struck him. The vehicle was driven by
    Courtenay Byron Hicks, a 34-year-old Potomac Falls resident.


    Vartanian was transported via a Fairfax Police helicopter to Inova
    Fairfax Hospital in critical condition, and succumbed to his injuries
    the next day. Hicks, who was not injured, has not been charged in the
    incident.

    According to investigators, speed and/or alcohol were not factors in
    the crash.
