DUMFRIES, Va. -- A 60-year-old woman and her 2-year-old grandson were killed Friday morning in a crash with a suspected drunken driver, according to Prince William County police.
William John Mallory was charged with driving under the influence. The 26-year-old had been at a Jimmy Buffett concert at Nissan Pavilion before he rear-ended a Saturn Ion carrying four people in Manassas, pushing the car about 100 yards into some boulders in a field near an FBI building, police said.
Rebecca L. Sacra, 60, and her grandson, Jonathan Wade-Ortiz, died in the crash. The boy's 43-year-old mother, who was driving, was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Her 12-year-old nephew was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Mallory had three passengers in his Ford Explorer. One suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
Alcohol factored in the crash, police said.
