Clifton Moped Crash Kills Local Woman A Centreville woman died last Tuesday evening, Oct. 15, following a motorcycle crash in Clifton. The victim was identified as Yumei Wang Barber, 37. Fairfax County police say she was operating a 2012 Gabella moped, heading north in the 7200 block of Clifton Road, around 6 p.m., when the trag- edy occurred. According to police, she en- tered a sharp turn and crossed the double-yellow line, veering into the path of a 2010 Ford pickup truck operated by a 26- year-old woman. The moped struck the left, rear tire-well of the truck. Bar- ber was separated from her moped and landed in the north- bound lanes of Clifton Road. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say neither speed nor alcohol appear to be factors in the crash.
