Manassas Park man, 94, dies after Nokesville crash; truck driver charged

A 94-year-old Manassas Park man died Sunday, two days after his pickup was hit by a Freightliner truck in Nokesville.

Police said a 2021 Freightliner M2 was traveling north on Nokesville Road about 7:15 p.m. Friday when the driver failed to see another vehicle stopped to make a left turn onto Fauquier Drive.

The truck driver tried to slow down but swerved into the southbound lane, hitting a 2010 Ford F-150 driven by 94-year-old Louis Arthur White of Manassas Park, Prince William County police Sgt. Erin Noble said in a news release.

White was taken to an area hospital, where he died Sunday from his injuries.

Officers charged the truck driver, 38-year-old Corey Latel Heflin of Springfield, with reckless driving, Noble said. Heflin was released on a court summons with a pending court date.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to contact them at 703-792-6500 or submit a tip online at pwcva.gov/policetip.

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.
