FAIRFAX STATION, Va. — Officers with the Fairfax County Police Department are investigating after a crash left two juveniles dead and a teen seriously injured Tuesday evening.

Police say the crash, involving one car, occurred in the 7000 block of Lee Chapel Road in Fairfax Station just before 9:30 p.m.
