FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — A Centreville man has died following a crash in Fairfax County Monday morning.

The crash happened just before 6 a.m. in Merrifield. Fairfax County Police said that the driver involved in the crash was traveling west on Arlington Boulevard when the driver drifted into the center median and crashed into a traffic pole at Javier Road.

Westbound lanes of Arlington Boulevard were blocked between Williams Drive and Javier Road for the crash investigation Monday morning. All lanes have since reopened.

The Fairfax County Crash Reconstruction Unit was on the scene Monday, working to determine what led up to the crash.

Additional details were not immediately available.
