Fairfax County Police are investigating a pedestrian crash that left one woman dead. Police were called to the intersection of Gosnell Road and Old Courthouse Road at 8:18 a.m. on Friday, September 28. An investigation determined that the deceased, Elsi Noemi Alvarado-Rivera, 30, of 926 South Buchanan Street in Arlington, was attempting to cross Gosnell Road while traffic was stopped for a red light. She crossed the first three lanes of traffic and as she neared the fourth lane, a left-turn lane, the green arrow signaled for traffic to proceed. A Fairfax County school bus operated by a 26-year-old Chantilly-area man was in that left-turn lane. The bus driver did not see Rivera in front of the bus and proceeded forward. The investigation revealed Rivera attempted to run in front of the bus to reach the median but was subsequently struck.
Rivera was pronounced dead at the scene. The bus driver was transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital for observation. Rivera was not crossing the street in a crosswalk. The investigation is ongoing.
