On August 7 at 11:13 a.m., Prince William police responded to Route 1 and Allen Dent Road just outside Dumfries for a motorcycle crash.

Police said the operator of a 2006 Shadow Aero VT750 was traveling south on Route 1 in an apparent reckless manner, according to multiple witnesses. As the motorcycle approached the intersection, the operator disregarded the red traffic signal and proceeded into the intersection, where the motorcycle then collided with a 2015 Hyundai Tucson that had the green signal and was turning left onto northbound Richmond Hwy from Allen Dent Road, police said.


On July 15 at 12:26 p.m., Prince William police were called to Telegraph and Caton Hill roads in Woodbridge to investigate a crash between a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche and a 2018 Ford E-350. The driver of the Avalanche was making a left turn from northbound Telegraph Road onto Caton Hill Road when the vehicle crossed paths with the E-350 that was traveling south on Telegraph Road straight through the intersection.

The driver of the Ford appears to of had a green signal to proceed into the intersection, while the driver of the Chevrolet turning left had a flashing yellow arrow indicating the driver should yield to oncoming traffic before safely proceeding, police said. The force of the collision rotated the Avalanche before the vehicle came to a rest in the intersection.
