Girl, 13, Dies After Hit-And-Run Wreck

A 13-year-old girl died Monday from injuries sustained in a Sunday morning crash in Woodbridge. The victim was identified as Antoinette Peters, 13, of Alexandria.

Investigators responded at 1:41 a.m. Sunday to the area of Touchstone Circle and Old Bridge Road regarding the crash.

According to police, Brown was driving a 2010 Nissan Sentra westbound on Old Bridge Road when he disregarded the red traffic signal at the intersection, hitting a 1998 Ford Explorer turning onto Old Bridge. 

Antoinette and a 13-year-old boy were unrestrained in the back seat of the Explorer, according to police spokesperson Jonathan Perok. Both children were ejected from the vehicle.
