At 2:29 p.m. Monday, June 1, Virginia State Police responded to the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 for a vehicle crash.

Several witnesses had observed a Honda sedan weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed just before it made a sudden lane change and ran off the right side of the interstate. The Honda struck the guardrail, re-entered the travel lanes and struck a tractor-trailer. The impact of the crash caused both vehicles to catch fire.


A new traffic signal will be activated next week at the intersection of Route 1486 (Austin Ridge Drive), Coastal Avenue, and Route 684 (Mine Road) in Stafford County.

To allow motorists time to adjust to the presence of the new traffic signal, it will be activated in flash mode on Tuesday, June 1, and will continue to flash through Thursday, June 3.
