The collision occurred at approximately 1:53 a.m. on Friday, November 6, 2026, on northbound Interstate 95 near mile marker 141. Virginia State Police said preliminary findings indicated that a Dodge Charger traveling at a high rate of speed struck the rear of a Nissan Rogue.

The impact sent the Nissan off the left side of the interstate, where it overturned. An adult woman died at the scene, while a child younger than five was transported to hospital and later died. The vehicle’s driver, identified by the prosecutor as the woman’s husband and the child’s father, suffered life-threatening injuries.

Malik Jeremiah Thomas Faces Charges Following the Collision

The Dodge Charger driver was identified as Malik Jeremiah Thomas, 25, of Fredericksburg. He was reportedly charged with driving while intoxicated and two counts of aggravated involuntary manslaughter.

Stafford County Commonwealth’s Attorney Eric Olsen said Thomas had a reported blood alcohol concentration of 0.17 percent, above Virginia’s legal limit of 0.08 percent. Three passengers in the Charger sustained minor injuries, while Thomas was not injured.

The manslaughter charges carry potential prison sentences of up to 20 years each if Thomas is convicted. He was expected to appear in court on November 9, according to local reporting. The allegations remain subject to the legal process, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
