A Manassas man was killed in a crash on Interstate 64 in Henrico County.

At 2:18 a.m. today, Virginia State Police responded to a three-vehicle crash with a confirmed fatality at eastbound I-64 at the 203-mile marker.

• A 2008 Nissan Maxima, driven by, Giovanni Gonzalez, 21, of Manassas, was traveling eastbound I-64 when he veered right striking a guard rail and an arrow board sign in the right lane. Gonzalez then veered left finally resting on the left side in the median.
• The arrow board sign ended up in the middle travel lane after impact.
• A 2018 Audi sedan, driven by an adult male driver, stopped with his hazards lights on in the left travel lane to assist Gonzalez who was outside of his vehicle attempting to retrieve his dog. A 2008 Nissan Altima, driven by an adult female, was traveling eastbound struck the arrow board sign and as a result the arrow board sign then struck the Audi and Gonzalez as he was outside of his vehicle.

Gonzalez succumbed to his injuries. The male driver of the Audi was wearing his seat belt and was transported to the hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

The female driver and adult male front seat passenger of the 2008 Nissan Altima, is believed to have not been wearing their seat belt and both were transported to the hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.

A man is missing after the skiff he was aboard capsized Sunday in the Rappahannock River.

Adam Napier, of Ruther Glen, who is in his late 20s or early 30s, went missing early Sunday afternoon in the river near the town of Port Royal. A second man, about the same age, was pulled from the river and was taken to a hospital and treated and released.

Seven jurisdictions, including a boat from the Stafford Fire and Rescue Department, have been called to assist in the search for Napier. Stafford’s boat spent eight hours on Sunday searching for the man and was called back at a.m. today when the search resumed.

Crews will continue their search for Napier until 5 p.m. today. “This is still a search and rescue mission,” said Paige Pearson, spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the agency leading the search. “We’re still hopeful.

A boater who witnessed the skiff capsize told a 911 operator the boat appeared to have hit something in the water. Rescue crews found the boat after it had been adrift for about an hour, said Pearson.

There is no indication the boat was traveling at a high rate of speed when it collided with an object, which could have been a sandbar.

“The channel in the Rappahannock is deep, but it’s very shallow in other areas of the river,” added Pearson.

Both men were not wearing lifejackets at the time the boat capsized.

MANASSAS – (Press Release) The Creative and Performing Arts Center, Inc. (CAPAC) will bring an evening of musical delight to the Prince William County community and surrounding areas this summer.

Celebrating the smooth, rhythmic sounds of jazz, four acts will perform on Saturday, September 7, at 1:00 p.m. at the beautiful Mary Louise Jackson Amphitheater on the Manassas campus of Northern Virginia Community College.

The fully equipped facility provides a professional venue for local, regional and national performing artists. The amphitheater features 500 bench seats and lawn seating for an additional 200, in a relaxing park-like setting. Vendors, food trucks and wineries will also be available.

Tickets are $40 for adults and $15 for children and may be purchased at www.jazzintheparkpwc.org.

Billboard-charting jazz musician Marcus Johnson will headline Jazz in the Park. While pursuing his JD and MBA at Georgetown University, Mr. Johnson independently produced and distributed his first CD, Lessons in Love, which sold more than 40,000 copies. Since then, he has established his own label, two publishing companies, produced numerous other national jazz artists and released more than 15 Billboard-charted CDs.

Billboard-charting international recording artist Dr. Chelsey Green will also be a part of Jazz in the Park. Playing the violin and viola, Dr. Green began her performance career at the age of five, and played at Carnegie Hall in New York City by the time she was 16. Dr. Green and her ensemble, The Green Project, tear down stereotypes of string instruments by fusing traditional classical technique with popular favorites and enticing original songs in various genres– including R&B, Pop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Alternative, Hip Hop, Gospel and more.

Contemporary jazz musician David Bach is an inductee into the 2019 Maryland Entertainment Hall of Fame and the winner of the 2016 Maryland Music Awards “Best Jazz Artist.” With a natural onstage energy and charisma, and an eclectic style that incorporates jazz, world music, European classical influences, Latin and Rock, Bach is a powerhouse performer.

The Rahmat Shabazz Trio is a talented local jazz ensemble that performed at Jazz in the Park last year, and CAPAC is thrilled to welcome them back.

When people attend Jazz in the Park, not only are they in for a treat, but a portion of the proceeds from this event will be used to continue CAPAC’s mission to promote educational engagement through future arts and theater productions and programs.

Republicans are opening doors to offices in Prince William County in an effort to win back seats in the Virginia General Assembly.

The locations of the new office are:

• Eastern PWCGOP HQ
  12535 Dillingham Square in Lake Ridge
• Central PWCGOP HQ
  12204 Dumfries Road (Route 234) near Manassas.

Each location is staffed and stocked with yard signs, bumper stickers, t-shirts, and other campaign items for candidates who are closest to the office.  The three new offices are in addition to the shack on Prince William Parkway, near the county government center, that serves as the county’s GOP headquarters office.

Republican Richard Anderson is vying to reclaim the 51st District seat on in the Virginia General Assembly from Democrat Hyla Ayala.  He held the seat from 2010 to 2017, and the district spans most of Prince William County.
