Fairfax County Police are investigating a crash that killed a pedestrian Sunday night near Tysons Corner Mall in McLean, Virginia.

Jose Matias Monjaras, 61, of Falls Church, was crossing the intersection of Chain Bridge Road and International Drive without the right of way at around 11 p.m. Sunday, police said.  He was hit by a driver crossing the intersection through a green light.
