A Reston man is facing criminal charges for his involvement in a recent fatal crash on Fairfax County Parkway.
The Fairfax County Police Department says Ayaan Usmani, 23, was drunk and speeding when he lost control of the 2019 BMW M850I he was driving near Elden Street around 2:40 a.m. on Nov. 23.
Heading south on Fairfax County Parkway “at a high rate of speed,” the car veered off the road prior to Elden Street and flipped over before coming to a rest, the FCPD said in a news release published yesterday (Thursday).
Usmani and Tina Habibi, 23, of Herndon, a passenger in the vehicle, were both taken to a hospital, where Habibi was pronounced dead.
Usmani was arrested and charged on Wednesday (Dec. 18) with involuntary manslaughter and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, police said.
Released from the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on bond, he is scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment on Dec. 27, followed by a preliminary hearing on April 1, according to Fairfax County General District Court records.
As previously reported, Habibi was the third person to be killed in a crash on Fairfax County Parkway this year. A fatal crash in March involved a man reportedly driving the wrong way, and a woman died in late July after crashing at the parkway’s exit to Baron Cameron Avenue in Reston.
Fairfax County has seen 51 fatalities as a result of vehicle crashes in 2024, according to Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles data, including three so far this month. Sixteen of those deaths came in crashes involving alcohol.
