Sex assault suspect sought; purple lines on I-95; teen mechanic turns heads

Drivers on Interstate 95 will start to see purple. Special purple striping will be added to the entrances of the 95   EZ-Pass Express Lanes, and the Express Lanes on the Capital Beltway.

The purple lines should make it easier for drivers to see the entrances for the new toll lanes.

A woman was cleaning out her car at a Woodbridge CVS, and was sexually assaulted.

The 73-year-old victim told Prince William police it happened in during the morning hours of Wednesday, June 17. The woman was not injured. We’ve got a photo of the man suspected in this case on our website, PotomacLocal.com.

In our promoted post file today, see how 18-year-old Katie Tatum is turning the automotive world upside down. A fresh graduate from Hylton High School in Woodbridge, she’s been giving her fellow guy mechanics and run for their money. You can see her full story on PotomacLocal.com.

Next, your weather forecast.

Today, expect mostly cloudy skies with a high of 92 degrees. Storms will develop this afternoon — some of them could be severe. Tonight, expect temperatures in the low 70s.
That’s it for now. Check back with us throughout the day on PotomacLocal.com for desktop and mobile, and PotomacLocal.com and Facebook and Twitter.

To celebrate Air Quality Awareness Week (May 6-10, 2024), Clean Air Partners is working with A Few Cool Hardware Stores to exchange DC, Maryland and Virginia residents’ gas-powered lawnmowers, trimmers, and leaf blowers at select Ace Hardware locations in the region. DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.

Compared to gas, electric lawn equipment can reduce emissions, noise pollution, health risks and maintenance costs and time. The program aims to remove about a hundred gas-powered polluting tools from yards in the greater Baltimore-Washington region.

The exchanges will take place the weekends of May 17-19, 2024, and May 31-June 2, 2024, at A Few Cool Hardware Stores network of employee-owned Ace Hardware stores in the DC and Baltimore metro areas.
