Virginia state trooper killed in crash in King George County

Virginia state trooper killed in crash in King George County
 June 25, 2011

KING GEORGE, VA
A Virginia state trooper died in a car accident that injured two other people Friday night.

Investigators say the crash happened about 6:45 p.m. in the James Madison section of King George County, about 60 miles northeast of Richmond.

Police say the trooper was responding to a call for assistance, when his patrol car collided with another car at the intersection of Route 3 and Madison Drive. Investigators say the impact forced the trooper's car off the road and into a light pole, splitting the cruiser in half.

Investigators say the front end of the squad car then continued into a nearby parking lot, where it struck three parked cars before coming to a stop.

The trooper died on the scene. Police have not yet released his name. The driver and passenger in the other car were taken to Mary Washington Hospital with minor injuries.

The Virginia State Police Accident Reconstruction Team is assisting with the investigation of the crash.~~~

20061026 Blogospheric recognition from George Washington’s IPDI




Blogospheric recognition from George Washington’s IPDI

Blogospheric recognition from
George Washington University’s “Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet”

» WHO'S BLOGGING THE 2006 MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA ELECTIONS?

October 26th, 2006

THANKS!
IPDI!

Grazing through my fellow Maryland Blogger Alliance member’s web sites yesterday, I noticed a post by my colleague
Bruce Godfrey at Crablaw’s Maryland Weekly that caught my attention.

He wrote in a post titled “
Congratulations to Maryland Blogger Alliance Member Kevin Dayhoff” :

“Maryland Blogger Alliance member Kevin Dayhoff was recognized by the
Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet for his coverage of the Maryland elections as a "must read" - I concur totally. Congrats, Kevin! posted by Bruce Godfrey at 10/24/2006 03:08:00 AM PERMALINK

Holy Cow! That’s me.

Thanks a bunch
Mr. Godfrey for calling it to my attention.

What an honor, especially since I look up to my colleagues with the Maryland Bloggers Alliance for what a great job they all do.

And it was not lost on me; after I followed the links graciously provided by
Crablaw, that another MBA member, Free State Politics was also recognized. Congratulations.

So I humbly accept the recognition on behalf of all my colleagues with the Maryland Blogger Alliance and all the bloggers out there who slave away for long hours trying to make a difference and a contribution to our greater community by promoting facts and information, discussion and dialogue.

I am well aware of
Dave Wissing’s excellent work at the Hedgehog Report. For all political junkies who appreciate numbers and commentary, there is no one better. And the work that the “Gang of Four” are doing with the elections in Howard County is cutting edge.

I finally had a chance this afternoon to take a cruise of all the sites and it is an impressive compendium of work. I got lots of value
going through the Virginia bloggers’ sites and I recommend that you also find the time for that virtual cruise.

Congratulations to everyone who made the list.

Anyway, Here’s the skinny:

George Washington University’s “Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet” top 12 Maryland and Virginia political blogs.
