Ashburn Teen Loses His Life in Accident

Another life has been lost due to a serious accident in the 21700 block of Evergreen Mills Road, in Leesburg, on Tuesday, May 8. 

Loudoun County deputies responded to the area, just north of the Goose Creek Bridge, shortly after 1 p.m. Ashburn resident Alieu Kamara, 19, was pronounced dead on the scene.

Upon investigation, deputies learned that, for unknown reasons, Kamara drove his 2004 Nissan Altima off the right side of the road. The Nissan, which was headed South, struck a parked, disabled 1963 Fabuglas 15-foot boat which was on a single-axle trailer on the highway shoulder with a flat tire. 

The Nissan continued to cross the centerline of the highway into the northbound lane, directly into the path of a northbound 2003 Volvo 5-axle dump truck (CMV) which was driven by Russell Ferguson, 61, of Remington, VA. 

Kamara lost his life at the scene. Ferguson was transported to Inova Loudoun Hospital, Cornwall Campus, and was treated and released. The investigation continues to be ongoing.
