7-year-old dies from injuries sustained in Manassas crash

A 7-year-old girl has died as a result of injuries she sustained in a crash last week in Manassas, Virginia, police said.

The crash happened around 8 a.m. on Oct. 12, when a 2003 Toyota Camry and a 2005 Subaru Forester collided at the intersection of Hoadly Road and Galveston Court, Prince William County police said.

Police said they were informed of the girl’s death Thursday.

According to police, the driver of the Camry, a 29-year-old woman from Manassas, was turning left from northbound Hoadly Road onto Galveston Court when it crossed paths with the Forester, driven by a 45-year-old woman from Manassas.

There were three children in the back seat of the Camry; a 6-year-old girl and a 2-year-old girl were secured in child restraints and suffered minor injuries. The 7-year-old was in a booster seat in between the other children and initially sustained serious injuries in the crash.

No charges are being sought related to the crash, police said.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
