When Assistant Chief Dawn Harman was growing up in Prince William County, she imagined a very different career path. Harman majored in veterinary science in college and was once with the Animal Control Unit of the Prince William County Police Department. Now Harman’s days are filled with duties that help keep the Prince William County Police Department a well-oiled machine.

LAKE RIDGE, Va. — Drivers at Old Bridge and Minnieville roads will soon get some relief ahead of the opening of a new grocery store.
The left turn lanes at the intersection that carry drivers from Old Bridge Road to Minnieville Road will be extended 100 feet toward Clipper Drive. The improvements, to be paid for by the developer of a new Lidl grocery store to be built nearby, will allow between eight and 10 more cars to queue in the lanes. That’s in addition to the queue that already exists during the peak weekday evening rush hour times.
From police:
Fatal Crash Investigation – On November 21 at 11:32PM, investigators from the Crash Investigation Unit responded to the area of Springwoods Dr and Glenridge Rd in Woodbridge (22192) to investigate a crash involving a pedestrian. The investigation revealed that the driver of a 2005 GMC Envoy was traveling northbound on Springwoods Dr approaching Glenridge Rd when the vehicle collided with a pedestrian attempting to cross Springwoods Dr. The pedestrian was transported to an area hospital where she died as a result of her injuries a short time later. The other driver remained on scene and was not injured. Speed, alcohol use and drug use do not appear factors for the driver involved in the crash. The pedestrian will be transported to the Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. No charges are pending at this time. The investigation continues.
