The crash happened about 6 a.m. on Kirby Road not far from Old Dominion Drive, Fairfax County police said. Vinson Hall, a retirement community, is close to the crash scene.
Brigitte Forster, age 86, was in the crosswalk trying to cross the street when the driver of a 2009 Toyota Sienna turned left onto northbound Kirby Road.
That driver "cut the turn short and entered the southbound lanes striking Forster in the crosswalk," according to FCPD.
