Greetings, Prince William – Floods. Tornadoes. Snowmageddon 2010. Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. No community within the Prince William area is immune to the havoc and devastation caused by a disaster, whether natural or manmade.
It was a violent 72 hours on Prince William County streets, as three people were killed in car crashes.
From Virignia State Police: At 3:45 a.m. Sunday (Oct. 24), a Virginia State Police trooper attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a Dodge Charger traveling 72 mph in a posted 55 mph zone. The Dodge was traveling west on I-495 near Eisenhower Ave when the trooper activated his emergency lights and siren for the traffic stop. The driver of the Dodge refused to stop and, instead, sped away at a high rate of speed. A pursuit was initiated.
