A crash in Fauquier County that led to two adults and two children being taken to the hospital may have been caused by reckless driving.
The accident happened on U.S. 29 just south of Route 651 near the Culpeper County line. According to the Virginia State police, the driver of an SUV lost control of her vehicle as she was headed south on 29. As a result her SUV struck a guardrail, crossed the median, and headed north on 29, striking a Ford Ranger pickup truck.
The driver, Jennifer Pullen, 25, was taken to the hospital along with a 6 year old and a 3 year old who were traveling in her vehicle. The children were properly restrained in age-appropriate booster seats. Pullen, however, was not wearing a seat belt; her injuries and those of the children were described as not life threatening.
The pickup truck driver, Culpeper resident David Manciniak, 34, was also taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Unlike Pullen, Manciniak was wearing his seat belt.
A Fauquier police trooper cited Pullen for reckless driving. After a brief lane closure on 29, the accident is under investigation; it is unknown if additional charges will be filed against Pullen.
