An 80-year-old woman died last Thursday, May 29, following a car crash two days earlier in Vienna. Fairfax County police identified her as Mary Eckert of Potomac, Va. The incident happened May 27, around 2:08 p.m., in the area of Towlston Road and Shouse Drive.
Police say Eckert was driving north on Towlston in a 2002 Lexus RX200 and ran off the right side of the road, striking a tree. She was transported to a hospital and died May 29 as a result of her injuries. According to police, speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash.
Teens Charged in Vienna Thefts
Believing that two teens stole property from several local vehicles, Vienna police arrested them both. They did so after the pair reportedly entered a garage in the 400 block of Talahi Road S.E. in Vienna, May 25, around 4:25 p.m.
They charged Brian Rogger Cueva, 19 of Patrick Street in Vienna, with two counts each of vehicle tampering and grand larceny and one count each of petit larceny and underage possession of alcohol. Monica Nicole Custode Ron, 18, of Fort Chimney Drive in Centreville, was charged with possession of stolen property.
Police say a resident reported that, as she was leaving her home to go on a bike ride, she noticed a man rummaging through her vehicle and a woman standing behind it while it was parked in her open garage. She said that, when the man saw her approaching, he and the woman fled from her garage with a bag of oranges.
However, the resident gave chase on her bicycle and was able to catch the pair and persuade them to return to her home to speak with the responding police officers. Upon returning, the resident also discovered a bicycle that wasn’t hers lying next to her vehicle. After speaking with both suspects, police determined that the couple had allegedly entered several vehicles in the area and taken property from them.
