Gary Anthony Thorne was traveling northbound on Lee Highway, shortly after 4:00 p.m., Friday, May 21st ,when his SUV crossed over a median strip and six traffic lanes onto a bicycle path striking and killing a young teen, Abdel Ouahid Chadli.  The driver, Mr. Thorne who was to turn 32 the next day, also died at the scene, in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Mourning replaced the graduation celebration for Abdel Ouahid Chadli, a senior and wrestler at Fairfax High School.  The young man was the eldest of four boys who was a dedicated athlete and liked to work out at the gym and biked on the bike path for exercise on a regular basis.  Chadli had been accepted at George Mason University and had hoped to become a veterinarian.
