Fairfax County Police responded at 11 a.m. Tuesday to the 1800 block of Kirby Road for the report of a crash. According to a police investigation, Sargent was in her driveway getting ready to head to a local service station. She asked another driver, an 86-year-old man, to follow and bring her home.
