STAFFORD, Va. — Two drivers and a passenger died at the scene of a car crash in Stafford Sunday.
Deputies responded to Austin Ridge Drive near Shields Road around 7:40 p.m. for the two-car crash.
Officials said that preliminary information indicated that 38-year-old Tamarr Williams, from Woodbridge, was speeding in a 1995 Lexus, headed southbound on Austin Ridge Drive.
