Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares visited Prince William County on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
Miaryes: “I had the pleasure to speak at Ian Lovejoy’s campaign kickoff in Manassas last night! As a Councilman, entrepreneur, and small business owner, @IanTLovejoy has served his region for over a decade and knows what Virginians want.”
Prince William police: “On May 25 at 4:27PM, officers responded to the area of Token Forest Dr. and Alistair Dr. in Manassas (20112) to investigate a fight stemming from a road rage incident. The investigation revealed the victims, a 30-year-old man and a 59-year-old man, were driving on Token Forest Dr. when another vehicle pulled in front them. The other vehicle then reversed suddenly and struck the victim’s vehicle.”
“The occupants of the striking vehicle, who were known to the victims, exited their vehicle where a physical altercation then ensued. At one point during the encounter, one of the suspects jumped onto the vehicle and began kicking the windshield, causing it to break. Eventually, the parties separated, and the police were contacted.”
“The need for the improvements came to Vega’s attention when Chris Griffin, a resident of a nearby neighborhood, voiced his concerns about the intersection’s safety. Griffin, a life-long Prince William County resident, said he wanted something done to the intersection, which he saw as dangerous.”
“Funding for this project came from the Coles District Transportation and Roadway Improvement Program (TRIP) funding. TRIP allocates money annually to each magisterial district for smaller scale district projects, such as sidewalks, trails and safety improvements.”
