A pedestrian was struck in a hit-and-run at the Dumfries commuter lot Tuesday, but the Prince William Police would not take a report. And it was not the first time this week someone was hit at the Dumfries commuter parking lot on Virginia Route 234 ! After a 38-year-old man was struck and killed there Friday morning, now the news reports<\/a> that a U.S. Air Force Airman who had just gotten off of an OmniRide commuter bus after a day of work at the Pentagon, was hit by a car at the lot about 6 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He was walking past the entrance of the lot that faces Va. 234 when a car pulled into the lot from the busy six-lane road and then hit him in the knee, injuring the Medial Collateral Ligament. “The guy stopped and got out of the car and told me the sun was in his eyes and he couldn’t see me,” the victim said. He did not believe that he was seriously injured at the time. But when he got home he started to feel pain in his knee, and his wife then convinced him to call police and report the crash. She called for him only to find an officer would not take the report. “They said since the crash happened in a parking lot, and the report was being filed after the fact, they wouldn’t take it,” said his wife. “That was really surprising to me. I guess pedestrians don’t have the right of way in Virginia.”<\/p>\n

A Prince William police spokesman confirmed what the couple had been told, saying that it is optional for officers to take a report in cases like this. “A report is not required if a crash happens in a parking lot. We have the option of taking one, but in a crash investigation we have to be able to see what happened, and it’s difficult to do when drivers and those involved in the crash have left the scene.”<\/p>\n

Because of his injury, the Airman must undergo three months of physical therapy to restore his MCL. Friday morning’s victim was hit at 6:40 a.m., before sunrise, as he attempted to walk out of the commuter lot toward the McDonald’s restaurant across the street, police said. Since the man was not using a crosswalk, the victim is considered to be at fault in the crash, according to the police spokesperson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
