An 8-year-old girl from Woodbridge, Virginia, has died after being struck by a car earlier this month, Prince William County police say.

Due to the victim’s age, her name will not be released to the public, according to a news release from police Saturday.

Police said the girl’s death resulted from injuries sustained during a crash on April 10 at around 6 p.m. in the 12200 block of Nutmeg Court in Woodbridge.

A 69-year-old woman was driving at a slow speed when police said she hit the girl, who was sitting in the roadway.

The child was stuck under the car, officers said. She was removed from underneath the vehicle and taken to the hospital.

Investigators said the child later died due to her injuries.

Speed, alcohol and drugs were not considered factors in the crash. The 69-year-old woman will not be criminally charged in this crash, police said.

Manassas awarded $3.8M in Northern Virginia Transportation Authority funds for new roundabout

By InsideNoVa.com
The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority has approved funding for the city of Manassas to transform the current intersection at Sudley Road, Centreville Road and Prescott Avenue just northeast of Old Town into a $3.8 million roundabout. Matthew Arcieri, director of planning and community development for the city, presented the City Council with an update on capital improvement program transportation projects in the city during a July 15 work session. The roundabout has been approved for funding from the authority after funding for the project was snubbed by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s RAISE grant program for the third time in 2022. The goal of the roundabout is to make the area safer and quicker for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists, city officials said. “The big piece of news we have here is this project is now fully funded for construction by the NVTA, so no local dollars,” Arcieri told the council. “They looked at this project, and it was actually ranked fifth in the region out of 24 projects … we compete very well against the big guys.”
