The man charged in fatal car crash that killed a 60-year-old woman and her 2-year-old grandson is now facing involuntary manslaughter.
A grand jury in Prince William Circuit Court last week indicted William John Mallory, 26, of Stafford on two counts of involuntary manslaughter and driving under the influence for the Sept. 4 crash.
Mallory is scheduled to stand trial before a jury on April 5.
Police said Mallory was driving his 2004 Ford Explorer shortly before 1 a.m. when he crashed into a 2007 Saturn Ion at the intersection of Prince William Parkway and University Boulevard.
The crash forced the Saturn off the road through a fence, across a field and onto some boulders, police said at the time.
Rebecca L. Sacra, of Alexandria, 6425 Telegraph in Alexandria and her grandson Jonathan Wade-Ortiz died at the scene, police said.
The boy’s mother and Sacra's daughter, a 43-year-old Dumfries woman, was driving the Saturn and was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries. The boy’s 12-year-old cousin was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police said that Mallory was driving home from a Jimmy Buffet concert at Nissan Pavilion at the time of the crash.
Alcohol was a factor in the crash, police said.
