On July 13, at 10 a.m., Fairfax County Police officers responded to a crash on Old Yates Ford Road and Henderson Road in Clifton involving a 2003 Honda Accord and a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas.

The driver of the Honda was uninjured, while the passenger of the Honda was flown by helicopter with injuries considered life-threatening to a local hospital. The driver of the Volkswagen and passenger were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Yesterday, detectives were notified that the passenger of the Honda, Jack Gumm, 22, of Manassas, succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the crash.

Preliminarily, detectives believe the driver of the Honda lost control of the vehicle while traveling on westbound Old Yates Ford Road. The driver began to spin, crossed over the double yellow line and was struck on the passenger side by the Volkswagen traveling in the opposite direction. Preliminarily, alcohol does not appear to be a factor and speed is still under investigation.
