Prince William police have arrested the driver of a BMW involved in a late July collision that left a 13-year-old Dale City boy dead, police spokeswoman Sharon Richardson said.
Marilyn J. Freeman, 61, of 8129 King Arthurs Court in the Manassas area, was charged with reckless driving/failure to maintain control following a nearly month-long investigation that included multiple witness interviews and a reconstruction of the scene, Richardson said.
The incident occurred around 6:45 p.m. July 29 when police say a blue 2003 BMW 320i struck Prabhdeep Ranahawa, who was riding his bicycle on Hoadly Road near Olivewood Drive. He died at the scene.
Police initially said that it appeared he was crossing Hoadly Road at the time, but the investigation revealed Ranahawa was bicycling on the shoulder near the edge of the travel lane, Richardson said.
Freeman was released on an unsecured bond and has a scheduled court date on Oct. 16.
