A 17-year-old Triangle boy was killed in an early morning single-car accident that involved alcohol and excessive speed, said Officer John Bogert, Prince William police spokesman.
Jacob Dillon of the 18300 block of Cabin Road was killed in an accident in the 18100 Joplin Road near Quantico National Cemetery around 4:43 a.m. Wednesday, Bogert said.

Police say Dillon was driving northbound when he entered a curve in the road at a high-rate of speed and lost control of the car. His car struck a tree on the other side of the road head-on.

Dillon was not wearing a seatbelt, Bogert said.
