Police: Kidnapped woman dies in crash
Barbara Jean Bosworth, 61, of Alexandria was killed Saturday when her car careened into trees in Prince William County, The Washington Post reported Sunday. Two men in the car with Bosworth were hospitalized in critical condition.
Bosworth apparently was able to call her husband and indicate something was wrong after she was allegedly kidnapped by the two men at the Springfield Mall, police said in a statement.
Her husband called police, who meantime had received a call from a witness at the mall who said a woman matching Bosworth's description was being held against her will by two men and needed help.
Police then spotted Bosworth's four-door Saturn speeding toward Route 1, followed it and saw it spin out and crash into trees, the Post reported. Police did not say who was driving the car.
