“I am concerned as a commissioner about the desecration of any graveyard in Stafford County, and in addition this particular one,” reports the Fredericksburg Free Press.

The Stafford County Planning Commission voted 5-0 Wednesday night to recommend the Board of Supervisors deny key approvals for the Potomac Creek Campus data center project on 99 acres south of Eskimo Hill Road. The recommendation followed concerns about a historic cemetery on the site that includes Seddon family burials and unmarked graves believed to belong to enslaved individuals. Commissioners noted the location could otherwise suit data center development near the approved Stafford Technology Campus.

“Boom, people screaming on the bus, glass flying everywhere, the bus turning over,” WTVR reported. “There was blood everywhere. People holding their heads, their shoulders, still waking up trying to figure out what was going on,” passenger Wayne Tobin said.

“You had blood, people bleeding, people screaming, the bus smoking. A stranger came, bust the window open and let us all out.”

As the investigation continues into Friday’s tragic multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 southbound, Stafford County Fire and Rescue (SCFR) — the first agency on scene — has released its official incident report.
