Felony Hit and Run Investigation – On July 31 at 5:01PM, investigators from Prince William County Police Department’s Crash Investigation Unit responded to the intersection of Sudley Road and Campus Drive at the entrance/exit for Northern Virginia Community College in Manassas (20109) to investigate a single vehicle crash. The initial investigation revealed that a silver vehicle - attempting to turn onto Sudley Road from Campus Drive - disregarded a stop sign and caused a chain reaction crash.

According to Officer Nathan Probus, spokesman for the police department, the driver of a 2017 BMW 330 traveling northbound on Sudley Rd swerved into the path of a 1998 Jeep Cherokee traveling in the southbound lanes in order to avoid a collision with an unknown silver vehicle.

According to the police reports, the driver of the Jeep attempted to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision with the BMW, but lost control of the vehicle and rolled over multiple times.

As a result of the roll, a passenger of the Jeep who was not wearing a seatbelt was ejected and subsequently flown to an area hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries.

The driver of the Jeep had to be extricated from the vehicle then transported to a local hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries.
