By The Associated Press

HAYMARKET, Va. (AP) — Virginia authorities are investigating the death of a 13-year-old Haymarket boy who was struck by one or more vehicles.

Prince William County police said officers were called to the area of James Madison Highway and Dominion Valley Drive, in Haymarket, shortly after 11:15 p.m. Sunday.

Investigators said a driver was traveling southbound on James Madison Highway when his vehicle struck a person in the road. Police said a second vehicle also may have struck the person a short time later.

Investigators believe the boy may already have been on the ground and in the roadway before being hit by the first vehicle.

The medical examiner’s office is conducting an autopsy.

Police said the first known driver is an 18-year-old Culpeper man and the second driver is a 60-year-old Aldie man. Both drivers stopped nearby and called police.

Quantico Ridge data center campus near Prince William Forest Park shelved for now

A planned 160-acre data center campus adjacent to Prince William Forest Park has been withdrawn from Board of County Supervisors consideration for the time being. Quantico Ridge, a proposed data center project in the Potomac District that was set to come before the board during Tuesday’s meeting, was removed from its scheduled public hearing at the request of the applicant, Highland Properties Manassas LLC. The proposal had taken the form of a comprehensive plan amendment that would have altered the property’s long-range land-use designation from office mixed use, residential neighborhood and parks and open space to industrial and parks and open space. The land is on the south side of Dumfries Road near its intersection with Minnieville Road. Potomac District Supervisor Andrea Bailey declined to comment for this story via a representative for her office.
