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.
A 13-year-old boy died after he was struck by a car while crossing busy Route 15 near Battlefield High School near Haymarket.
The collision occurred at 12:36 p.m. Tuesday, October 19. The boy was crossing the four-lane road when a Honda Odyssey van struck the child. The van had a green light, and the driver remained on the scene, police said.
A 17-year-old was killed in a crash on Purcell Road early this morning.
Two teenagers in were inside of the car speeding, police said, when the car flipped about a mile west of Dale Boulevard in Dale City.

FRED Regional Transit — the local bus service for Stafford and Spotsylvania counties and Fredericksburg — has a new name.
The buses will now be known as “FXBGO!”
Next week, the Virginia Department of Transportation will open the second Interstate 95 southbound bridge over the Rappahannock River in the Fredericksburg area.
I-95 southbound capacity across the Rappahannock River will be doubled when the new bridge opens. Six southbound travel lanes will cross the river, marking a significant milestone in the construction of the $132 million I-95 Southbound Rappahannock Crossing Project.
