Every week, the Franconia District Police Station releases a report of the major incidents that occur in the district, which includes the greater Rose Hill area, from the previous week. Here are the incidents that occurred from Jan. 25, 2012 to Feb. 1, 2012. Keep in mind that these are reported incidents. A crime did not necessarily occur.

Fatal Crash

On Sunday, Jane. 29 around 1:15 p.m., police responded to a crash on Kingstowne Boulevard. A 25-year-old man was driving a 2011 Ford Mustang northbound on Kingstowne Boulevard. A 77-year-old man was driving a 1994 Toyota Camry southbound on Kingstowne Boulevard. As both vehicles approached the intersection with Kingstowne Village Parkway, the 77-year-old driver attempted to turn left from Kingstowne Boulevard onto Kingstowne Village Parkway and was struck on the passenger side by the 25-year-old driver.

Diana Merediz, 71, of 3021 Cunningham Drive in the Alexandria area, who was a passenger in the Toyota Camry, died at the scene. The 77-year-old driver was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and the 25-year-old driver was transported to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries. An investigation by Crash Reconstruction Detectives continues. Speed is considered a factor in the crash but alcohol is not.
