LCSO request the public’s help in a crash investigation

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) is asking for the community’s help in an investigation related to a serious vehicle crash that occurred September 18.

Preliminary investigations revealed that a black Nissan Altima traveling south on Route 28 at approximately 6:50 p.m. struck a semi-truck.

The truck overturned and caught fire as a result of the impact.

A blue Toyota Prius was also struck by the Nissan.

The driver of the semi was pulled from the wreckage by citizens and transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The driver of both the Altima and Prius had to be transported to the hospital and have since been released.

The driver of the Altima, Jose A. Espinosa, has been arrested and faces numerous charges.

The 18-year-old Espinosa has no fixed address and was using forged tags and driving without insurance with additional charges pending.

Speed was likely a factor in the crash in the ongoing investigation with authorities asking anyone with information to call.

If you were in the vicinity of the crash or saw events leading up to the collision call the Loudoun County Sheriffs Office at 703-777-1021.
