2-year-old dies following crash on I-64 in Hampton
HAMPTON — A 2-year-old boy died from injuries sustained in a vehicle crash last week on Interstate 64 westbound near the Interstate 664 interchange in a work zone. Virginia State Police said at 8:35 p.m. on July 30 a Chevrolet Cruze, whose driver was later charged with following too closely, struck the rear of a Toyota Sienna, causing the Sienna to spin out and strike a Honda Accord. The Sienna ran off of the road's left side and struck a jersey wall barrier, the Cruze ran off the road's right side and struck a guard rail and the Accord remained in the travel lanes. The boy, who state police said was properly restrained, was taken to a hospital but died from his injuries. A 36-year-old woman in the Sienna suffered serious injuries and was also sent to a hospital. The driver of the Sienna sustained minor injuries.

Virginia State Police Are Now Driving S650 Mustangs
Read the full story on The Auto Wire If you live in or travel through Virginia, be on the lookout for state troopers behind the wheel of S650 Mustangs. Virginia State Police just announced a whole slate of these new pony cars have officially been added to the fleet and delivered to troopers, so they're out on the prowl as we of the Mustangs are GTs with nary an EcoBoost in the lineup. It might be a tough pill for the four-banger crowd to swallow, but the Coyote V8 not only is more powerful, it's far more reliable and durable. Those sorts of things matter to law enforcement agencies. Ford will allow law enforcement and other government entities to create custom specs of duty cars. In this case, VSP appears to have selected the wheels and Brembo brakes included in the GT Performance Package without also including the rear wing (maybe that interfered with the cruiser's equipment?). With a top speed of 155 mph, these Mustangs are fast, making it harder for determined suspects to ditch troopers in a chase. That might be in part why we see more and more law enforcement adding pony cars to their fleets. It probably also doesn't hurt that Dodge has watered down its performance, forcing police to look elsewhere for fast rides. There are some problems with using Mustangs in law enforcement. For one, they don't have a push bar, so officers can't do a PIT maneuver with them. With only two doors, there's no putting suspects in the backseat. Also, interior space is more cramped than in an SUV, so police have to deal with that challenge. But something tells us VSP troopers won't complain. However, speeders and aggressive/distracted drivers will probably loathe these new Mustang GTs added to the fleet.
