A fiery car crash in Fairfax County left four teenagers injured Tuesday night, and police say one of them has died.
In the wake of the crash, neighbors have created a petition to add a traffic light on Burke Center Parkway where the crash occurred. As of writing, the petition has been signed by over 2,300 people.
Representatives from the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Fairfax County Department of Transportation and the Fairfax County Police Department will be part of the virtual forum on August 15 at 7 p.m. FCPD are expected to update the community on recent traffic enforcement initiatives, and VDOT will share its process and timeline for evaluating potential design changes to the intersection where the crash occurred.
