A 33-year-old Virginia man has been charged in the fatal hit-and-run of a pedestrian this winter.
The crash happened Feb. 21 at Graham Park and Old Triangle roads in Dumfries. Police said Gregory D. Sawyer, 62, of Dumfries, was crossing the road when he was struck by a van that Trim was driving.
Officials said Trim only briefly stopped before he fled the scene. Sawyer suffered serious injuries and died more than a week later, according to police.
Police said that when they tried to serve a search warrant on Trim’s home, he tried to flee out a back door but was detained.
