Fairfax County police said a man — who was later identified as Syed-Humza Mahmood, of Annandale — was driving his Lexus “at a high rate of speed” southbound on the parkway when he hit two vehicles before his car flipped and he was ejected.
He was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police said. The other two drivers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Police said alcohol was apparently not a factor.
