A 2003 Honda Civic was traveling northbound on the parkway shortly before 7 a.m. when it crossed the median into the southbound lanes and into the path of a 2015 Volkswagen Passat, police said.
Sayed Osman Sayed, 20, died of his injuries. Three other people were taken to the hospital, including one person who was airlifted. Police did not provide an update on the conditions of any of the people sent to the hospital.

The crash closed the southbound lanes on the parkway between Braddock Road and Popes Head Road for more than three hours Friday morning.
