WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Taxpayers will spend $75,000 on a study to determine if a mobile home park owner can put back trailers where a flood all but destroyed them during a tropical storm.
A settlement between Prince William County and the Holly Acres Mobile Home Park off U.S. 1 in Woodbridge, near Marumsco Plaza, requires the study to be conducted. In September 2011, the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped several inches of rain across the area causing severe flooding that caused the Marumsco Creek to topple its banks and spill into the park and along U.S. 1.
Of the 106 homes in the park, nine were affected by the flooding.

Update
No charges have been filed after a crash that killed a motorcyclist on Tuesday morning.Â
Here's an update from Prince William police:Â
Crash – Fatality – On August 5th at 7:41AM, officers responded to the area of Aden Rd and Fleetwood Dr in Nokesville (20181) to investigate a crash. The investigation revealed that the operator of a 2008 Buell XB12XT motorcycle was traveling southbound on Aden Rd approaching the four-way stop intersection in the above area. As the operator approached the intersection, the driver of a 2003 Chevrolet 4500 truck, who had previously stopped on Fleetwood Dr, was continuing through the intersection. At that point, the operator of the motorcycle attempted to stop; however, collided with the truck in the intersection. Investigators determined that the driver of the truck had the right-of-way in the intersection at the time of the collision. The operator of the motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene. The other driver was not injured. Alcohol and drug use do not appear to be factors in this collision.

Osbourn Park Senior High School is looking forward to something that is tough for many schools to start of the school year with -- a roster full of returning players. Â At the end of the 2013-2014 season, the Girls Varsity Basketball team, led by Head Coach Clifton Gorham, only lost one senior. Â That means this coming year, he can worry less about re-teaching and more time honing in on the development of his current players.
Gorham feels that with the talent and focus of his returning core, the Lady Yellow Jackets will be destined for success.
Osbourn Park has several key matchups to prepare for on the 2014-2015 game schedule.  Having played Battlefied High School in Haymarket twice during last year’s regular season and losing both games, the Yellow Jackets have their road cut out for them.Â

The air quality outside today won’t be so great. It’s a code yellow day, according to the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments, and that means the air quality is not as good as other days and can be harmful to highly sensitive groups of people.
Clean Air Partners for Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. measures the air quality index on a scale that includes colors such as green, yellow, orange for moderate, red for unhealthy, and purple for very unhealthy. The organization urges those who might be sensitive to air pollution today to make fewer trips outdoors today and, if possible, link all errands together so they can be completed in one trip.
The council of governments issued a code orange air quality warning back on July 11 when the temperature reached 85 degrees at Fort Belvoir. We could see even higher temperatures in the region today with a forecast high of 89 degrees.Â
