SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. — A Virginia man has been charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter in a crash that killed two brothers in March.

The Free Lance-Star reports that a Spotsylvania grand jury indicted 19-year-old Dylan Andres Abernathy of Spotsylvania on six charges, including driving under the influence and the two manslaughter charges.

According to police and court documents Abernathy lost control of a Toyota Highlander and hit a tree.

The vehicle caught fire and Javontae and Jaquan Bundy died at the scene.

Abernathy and two others were seriously injured. Court records allege that Abernathy was intoxicated and an open container of alcohol was found inside the vehicle after the crash. Abernathy was arrested Wednesday and has been released.

Trump announces a $22.5B makeover of Dulles airport that will eliminate the ‘people movers’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a $22.5 billion renovation of Washington Dulles International Airport that will end the use of the widely disliked “people movers,” the mobile lounges that have been used for decades to shuttle travelers to and from the main terminal. In place of the people movers, the airport will add a new U-shaped passenger train, a central walking tunnel, more moving walkways and new concourses. An above-ground parking garage closer to the main terminal with space for 32,000 vehicles is also in the offing, according to Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The airport makeover would add to a long list of renovation projects the Republican president is pursuing to leave a lasting mark on the Washington region after his term ends in January 2029. Among other undertakings, he is building a new White House ballroom and wants to build a towering triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial. But of all the construction projects Trump is pursuing, the renovations at Dulles could prove to be his most popular and benefit the greatest number of people. The airport, the area’s primary international airport, served roughly 29 million passengers over the past year, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
