PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY
Charge Filed in Teenager's Death
A 61-year-old Manassas area woman has been charged with reckless driving in connection with a crash that killed a 13-year-old bicyclist last month.
Marilyn J. Freeman was driving a 2003 BMW on July 29 when the car hit Prabhdeep Randhawa of Dale City, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Freeman was charged after an investigation revealed that she had failed to stay in her lane leading up to the accident, police said. She was released on an unsecured bond yesterday and is due in court Oct. 16.

LOUDOUN COUNTY
Power Line Project Dealt Setback
Pennsylvania officials have recommended that authorities in that state reject a proposal by Dominion Virginia Power and another company to build a 240-mile transmission line that begins there and cuts through Northern Virginia.
The recommendation deals a blow to proponents of the 500-kilovolt line, which would end in Loudoun County. A Virginia agency is expected to rule this year on whether the local portion can be built, but the project may not go forward if West Virginia and Pennsylvania reject their portions.
Dominion and Allegheny Energy say their $1.3 billion project is needed for a reliable flow of electricity to Northern Virginia and elsewhere.
