Prince William County Virginia | Felony Indictments Possible - Fatal Crash

Christopher Eduard Suarez, 18, was originally charged with misdemeanor reckless driving for the April 20 crash that killer two of his classmates, 15-year-old Kendra Tucker and 15-year-old Savanna Kidane Mouratidis.

Suarez appeared in Prince William General District Court on that charge Wednesday, but prosecutors declared the charge nolle prosequi, meaning they do not wish to prosecute at this time.

Prosecutors said they plan to pursue felony charges against Suarez in Prince William Circuit Court.

Police said Suarez, of Gainesville, was driving a car carrying four teenaged passengers on Logmill Road in Haymarket when he struck a deer and then slammed into a tree.

Kendra Tucker died instantly; Savanna Mouratidis also died that day and was taken off life support a few days later, after doctors had time to prepare her organs for donation, family members said.

Suarez and a two other passengers, a 17-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl, were also injured in the crash.

Police said speed was a factor in the crash and none of the teens wore seatbelts.
