Jesse David Foster, of Lancaster, was charged after a "lengthy investigation" with two counts of felony aggravated DUI manslaughter, felony reckless driving resulting in death while driving with a suspended license and a misdemeanor charge for DUI, a second offense within 5 years, according to Sgt. Jessica B. Shehan with Virginia State Police.
Troopers were called to a crash on the bridge that connects the Northern Neck to the Middle Peninsula over the Rappahannock River on Sunday, July 13, just after 6:50 p.m.
Foster was driving a Mercedes-Benz westbound on the bridge at a "high rate of speed" when he tried to pass another car in the eastbound lane, according to troopers.
That is when Foster sideswiped a Subaru Outback before crashing into a Ford Fusion head-on.
