Six hospitalized following crash on Dale Blvd.

A crash that closed a portion of Dale Boulevard on Monday morning sent six people to the hospital, including three children.

Police were called to the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Dale Boulevard just before 10 a.m., after a 2000 Honda Accord collided with 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette van, which was a taxi cab.

The cab was traveling northbound on Cloverdale Road and the Accord on the eastbound side of Dale Boulevard when the cars collided, said Hernandez.

Inside the cab was the 48-year-old driver from Woodbridge and a 25-year-old Woodbridge woman with her children, ages 8, 7, and one 7-month old. All five were taken to the hospital.

Both the driver and the woman suffered injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, said Hernandez. The children were later released.

The driver of the Accord, a 26-year-old Woodbridge man, was also taken to the hospital. His condition was not released.

The crash is still under investigation.

Woman struck while crossing Va. 28

A 20-year-old woman was flown to the hospital Monday after she was hit by a car at a Manassas area intersection.

The woman was attempting to cross Va. 28 at Spruce Street when she was hit by car driven by a 31-year-old Woodbridge man, said Prince William police spokeswoman Erika Hernandez.

The man called police to report the crash, left the scene, but later returned, said Hernandez.

He was not charged; the woman suffered injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening.

Manassas man hit by car

Police said an intoxicated man was hit by a car while trying to cross a busy Manassas road on Sunday.

They were called to the corner of Mathis and Liberia avenues about midnight for a report of a man who was lying on the sidewalk, said city police spokesman Sgt. Tim Neumann.

When they arrived all the man was able to say to the officers is that "that car would not stay," said Neumann.

Police used his cell phone to identify the man, and learned that he had left from his home on Overhill Drive in Manassas Park on his bicycle. He was headed for a convenience store on the corner of Mathis and Liberia avenues, and his girlfriend told police that he had been drinking heavily all day, said Neumann.

Police found his bike chained to a telephone pole in the 8600 block of Va. 28, two blocks from where he was found on the ground.

A few hours later Neumann said the man was more responsive and was able to tell police that he chained his bike to the pole and attempted to cross Va. 28 and was struck by a blue Ford Mustang.

The man suffered minor injuries and the driver of the Mustang has not been located.

A man was stabbed and robbed early Sunday walking home from a Manassas restaurant.

Police were called to 9705 Grant Avenue for a report of a stabbing just before 1 a.m.

The victim said he was at Chicken Palace until it closed, and then started to walk home through an alley behind the Koko Rico restaurant, said Manassas police spokesman Sgt. Tim Neumann.

The assailant, who described himself as "Chino," head-butted the victim and then stabbed him under his arm, then hit him several times with his fist, said Neumann.

Witnesses told police "Chino" left the scene in an older red car with a woman inside.

The victim also said his wallet was stolen in the attack. Neumann did not release the victim's age.
