PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Prince William County Police are investigating a single vehicle car crash that claimed the life of a mother.
On Monday, January 22, 39-year-old Demetria Yvette Lee was traveling east on Old Bridge Road when she suddenly lost control of her car. The vehicle left the road and rolled onto its roof.
Thankfully, some witnesses who saw the crash rushed into action. They removed Lee from the car and provided aid until Fire and Rescue arrived on the scene. Lee was taken to a nearby hospital. Despite efforts from medical staff, her injuries were too severe and she died.
