A hit-and-run driver struck a woman and her 5-year-old son in Fairfax County last week, killing the mother and injuring the boy. The search for the driver is ongoing.
Erica Tibbs; her partner, Christian Saidi; and their son, Hezekiah, had just stepped off a bus after dinner at McDonald’s Jan. 29.
Saidi crossed Richmond Highway near Buckman Road first, though not in a crosswalk. He said the roadway was clear when Tibbs and Hezekiah began to follow, but an SUV suddenly raced toward them and hit them.
