FAIRFAX COUNTY
Reston Man Dies After Car Flips
A Reston man died yesterday when he apparently lost control of his car on Sunrise Valley Drive and crashed in Reston, Fairfax County police said.
Police said James R. Hammer, 31, was headed west in the 11800 block of Sunrise Valley Drive between Roland Clarke Place and Colts Neck Road, about 1:19 a.m., when his 2004 Nissan Maxima left the road near a bend.
The Maxima continued across grass and struck a tree. The collision caused the car to flip and land on its roof, with Hammer trapped inside. Hammer, who was alone in the car, died at the scene, police said.
This was the 17th fatal crash in Fairfax County this year, police said.

ACLU Opposes T-Shirt Policy
The ACLU of Virginia says voters should be allowed to wear T-shirts and buttons advertising their political viewpoints at polling places on Election Day.
The group wants the State Board of Elections to revise its policy on banning materials classified as electioneering from polling places.
The board is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a position statement regarding the policy.
