Prince William police: “Maiming resulting from Driving under the Influence – On June 1 at 7:04PM, officers responded to the area of Nokesville Rd and Fitzwater Dr in Nokesville (20181) to investigate initial reports of a driver possible unconscious in the driver’s seat of vehicle.”
“Multiple bystanders attempted to wake the driver who was reportedly slumped over the wheel. Prior to police or fire and rescue personnel arriving on scene, the driver, later identified as the accused, woke, and suddenly accelerated from the area. Witnesses reported the vehicle partially left the roadway and struck a 44-year-old male pedestrian who was walking on a grassy shoulder. The vehicle continued forward where the pedestrian then separated from the vehicle and struck a traffic sign. The vehicle remained in motion, ultimately hitting a fence then a tree.”
“The 39-year-old driver had glassy, bloodshot eyes, the odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath, and admitted to consuming alcohol prior to driving. She was subsequently charged by Aquia Harbour Police for driving under the influence. She was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.”
“Both victims are expected to make a full recovery. The crash investigation remains active and is being investigated by the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office’s Traffic Safety Unit.”
