Prince William County, Va. –– A series of crashes kept police in eastern Prince William County busy.
A Dodge Caravan struck the rear of a Prince William County Public Schools bus at the intersection of Dumfries Road (Va. 234) and Carrs Brooke Way at 9:52 p.m. Wednesday.
The driver of the van was flown to an area hospital, and an adult and a 15-year-old girl that were onboard the school bus were also taken to a local hospital.
The van was traveling west on Va. 234 when it struck the bus that had already stopped at a signal light at the intersection, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
All of the injuries suffered in the crash appeared to be non-life threatening, said Perok.
Avorey Deloris Spencer-Horsley, 57, of Manassas, faces reckless driving charges in the crash.
And there were two crashes that involved pedestrians Thursday.
A 19-year-old Woodbridge man faces charges after police said he walked into the path of oncoming traffic and did not use a crosswalk, at 5:19 p.m. Thursday.
Police said Elmer Stephen Hernandez attempted to cross U.S. 1 – a busy four-lane highway – in the area of Mt. Pleasant Drive but was hit by a Ford F-150 driven by a 60-year-old man from Pennsylvania.
The victim suffered injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, said Perok.
A similar incident happened on the same road about two-hours later in the 14200 block of U.S. 1 at the Hendrick Honda dealership.
A 31-year-old man tried to cross U.S. 1 outside of a crosswalk and was hit by a 2001 Volkswagen Passat, said Perok.
The victim was flown to a local hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life threatening, and was later charged in the incident.
Saul Alberto, of Woodbridge, is charged with careless interference with traffic.
The driver of the Passat was identified as a 51-year-old man from Stafford.
