WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A motorcyclist fell to the ground Tuesday evening while traveling on Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge.
Police said the rider, a 61-year-old man from Woodbridge, sideswiped two other cars before falling to the ground. He was charged with reckless driving and suffered minor injuries, said Prince William spokesman Jonathan Perok.
The crash was reported to police at 6:48 p.m., and it happened on the westbound lanes of Prince William Parkway prior to Minnieville Road.
At the nearby intersection of Prince William Parkway and Smoketown Road, police consider this a “high risk roadway” area as 147 summons were issued there, and 18 crashes happened at that intersection last year, according to annual police statistics.
