Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: “On June 14th, at approximately 5:49 p.m., Deputy E.E. West responded to Kellogg Mill Road for a single-vehicle auto accident. The caller advised the driver smelled like alcoholic beverages. When Deputy West arrived on the scene, she observed the vehicle in a ditch with damage to its front bumper. The road was shut down until the vehicle could be properly removed.”
“The driver advised he was traveling South on Kellogg Mill Road after work when the vehicle in front of him began to slow down. The driver attempted to slow down; however, his brakes were so bad he could not slow down in time. To avoid a crash, he swerved into the ditch. The driver had red, glassy eyes, slurred speech, the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, and admitted to consuming some Twisted Tea.”
Northern Virginia Transportation Authority: “On June 8th, the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) marked a momentous occasion as it celebrated two significant milestones. This year, NVTA is proudly commemorating its 20th anniversary since its establishment, in addition to celebrating its 10th funding anniversary. These achievements were made possible through the passing of two pivotal bills.”
“In 2002, former Governor Mark Warner signed Senate Bill 576, which brought NVTA into existence. This legislation laid the foundation for the Authority to address transportation challenges in Northern Virginia. Over a decade later, in 2013, former Governor Robert McDonnell signed House Bill 2313, a transformative bill that granted NVTA a dedicated revenue stream. The funding made possible by HB 2313 has been instrumental in supporting NVTA’s mission of financing multimodal transportation projects aimed at reducing congestion across the region.”
