What Dispatch Heard in October

N Pitt St & Queen St

A male on a scooter who was hit by a vehicle. Caller advises that he’s still down, unknown injuries. … the MVC hit and run … the victim possibly got up and left, now walking with the scooter just past the intersection.

A man on a scooter was hit by a vehicle at North Pitt Street and Queen Street (Old Town North) in the Thursday-morning commute and left lying in the street; the driver fled, and by the time units arrived the victim had gotten up and walked off with his scooter. With both parties gone, this strike is unlikely to appear in any official record. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Per the APD crash report presented to BPAC (October 12, 2026): this was a road-rage escalation — after an earlier interaction on Queen Street, the rider confronted the car at the intersection, knocked on the window, and tried to block it in; the driver “took off, striking the person on the e-scooter.” Minor injury; the case remains open for investigation.

Seminary Rd & N Beauregard St

Motor vehicle versus a scooter. Adult male on the scooter has an injury to the head, injury to the leg. Appears to be conscious and breathing. … They’re transporting our scooter victim to Fairfax.

A 20-year-old man on a scooter was struck by a vehicle at Seminary Road and North Beauregard Street (West End) at 1:20 on a Saturday morning, with injuries to the head and leg; conscious and breathing, and transported to Fairfax — the regional trauma center, which itself signals severity. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Per the APD crash report presented to BPAC (October 12, 2026): confirmed a serious injury. The vehicle was southbound on Beauregard through a green light; the rider entered the crosswalk against the signal. No one was cited, and per the sergeant the investigation appears concluded.

S Washington St & Green St

It’s going to be a Chevy work vehicle that struck a pedestrian, female pedestrian, she’s conscious and alert … Be advised we have southbound Washington Street shut down.

A woman was struck by a Chevy work truck at South Washington Street and Green Street (south Old Town, on the Route 1 southbound couplet), mid-afternoon; she was conscious and alert, and southbound Washington was shut down for the response. The driver remained on scene — an officer documented the truck’s tag during the investigation (withheld here). Route 1’s Old Town couplet keeps producing strikes: Wythe (Sep 6), Pitt & Queen (Oct 1), Henry & Gibbon (Oct 6), and this one. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Per the APD crash report presented to BPAC (October 12, 2026): minor injury; the driver was cited. (The sergeant couldn’t retrieve travel directions from the report.)

2400 Eisenhower Ave (at Swamp Fox Rd)

Caller stated that he struck a male in front of the metro station and disconnected. … A caller called in saying that he hit a pedestrian, then hung up. He is also responding — supposed to be in front of the Metro.

A man was struck by a driver at 2400 Eisenhower Avenue, in front of the Eisenhower Avenue Metro station, in the early Tuesday commute — reported by the driver himself, who called 911, hung up, and waited at the Metro. One patient, no critical injuries. The Eisenhower East cluster’s sixth VRU strike since mid-September. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Per the APD crash report presented to BPAC (October 12, 2026): logged as a bicycle, not a pedestrian — both were westbound, and with road construction at that block the rider left the sidewalk, entered the roadway, and sideswiped the vehicle. Minor injury; no one was cited.

S Henry St & Gibbon St

South Henry and Gibbon Street for the bicyclist struck. Possible leg injury. PD is also responding.

A bicyclist was struck at South Henry Street and Gibbon Street (south Old Town, the Route 1 northbound couplet) in the Tuesday evening rush, with a possible leg injury. The first of three VRU strikes in Alexandria within two hours that evening — see Slaters Lane and North Ripley Street. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Per the APD crash report presented to BPAC (October 12, 2026): the vehicle was turning left from Gibbon onto S Henry; the cyclist ran the stop sign and was cited — the one citation of a struck rider in the batch (the sergeant noted officers are generally reluctant to cite someone already hit by a car). Minor injury.

817 Slaters Ln (at Portner Rd)

Bicyclist struck — a gray Subaru … female, approximately 25 year old, on a bicycle. Striking vehicle still on scene.

A woman of about 25 on a bicycle was struck by a gray Subaru at 817 Slaters Lane at Portner Road (North Old Town), after dark; the driver stayed on scene and EMS was released quickly. A block from the August 1 Slaters Lane strike (aug incident-01). The second of three VRU strikes that evening. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide.

600 N Ripley St (at Holmes Run Pkwy)

Several calls coming in for a child trapped underneath the vehicle. … She is pinned under the vehicle right now. … The victim has been removed from underneath the vehicle. She’s conscious and alert. … Wrong information — 11 years old.

An 11-year-old girl was struck and pinned underneath a blue Toyota RAV4 at 600 North Ripley Street at Holmes Run Parkway (West End), just after 7 PM. Several 911 calls came in at once; the response was upgraded to an entrapment and run as a formal incident command on 2 Delta — a tower ladder and rescue company lifted the pressure off her, airbags staged, and she was freed in about six minutes, conscious and alert, with a possibly broken leg, then transported to Fairfax, the regional trauma center. The driver remained on scene. The fourth child struck by a driver in Alexandria since September 3 — and the same West End pocket as September’s two North Pegram Street strikes. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Update (October 12): ALXnow reports she was pinned under the front axle, that the first-due crews — with heavy extrication equipment not yet on scene — improvised with ground ladders for leverage to lift the SUV, and that she was taken to Children’s National Hospital (the radio traffic at 7:25 PM had the medic heading for Fairfax) and is expected to make a full recovery. Per the APD crash report presented to BPAC (October 12, 2026): the child “was playing and ran into the roadway from in between two parked cars” when struck; the driver was not cited. (The report places it in the 700 block; dispatch and ALXnow say 600.)

Fuel pumps near Wheeler Ave & Duke St

For the hit and run — pedestrian struck at the fuel pump near Wheeler and Duke. … Confirming it was a school bus that hit him? Negative … he didn’t confirm, just said a bus.

A pedestrian was struck by a bus — type unconfirmed; a unit asked whether it was a school bus and the answer was that the caller “just said a bus” — at the fuel pumps near Wheeler Avenue and Duke Street (West End), and the bus left the scene. Medics were refused, so the injury was minor; with no striking-vehicle detail beyond “a bus,” identifying the operator would need camera footage. A transit-vehicle strike-and-leave either way. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide.

Prince St & S Patrick St

Prince and South Patrick Street … for the report of a pedestrian struck by vehicle. Vehicle is still on scene. … The patient is talking.

A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle at Prince Street and South Patrick Street (Old Town) at midday; the driver stayed, and the patient was talking. The fifth strike on the Route 1 couplet through Old Town since September 6 — Wythe, Pitt & Queen, Henry & Gibbon, Washington & Green, and now Patrick at Prince. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide.

N St Asaph St & King St

A 60 year old male struck by a vehicle. Vehicle has fled. Patient is complaining of inability to walk or move his arm. He’s going to be in front of the Starbucks.

A 60-year-old man was struck by a vehicle at North St Asaph Street and King Street before dawn, and the driver fled; he was found in front of the Starbucks, awake but unable to walk or move his arm. A hit-and-run with injury on King Street, a block from City Hall — no vehicle description made the public feed. The second strike at a St Asaph corner in two weeks (St Asaph & Cameron, Sep 30). Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide.

Mount Vernon Ave & W Glebe Rd

A 29-year-old female stated that she was hit by a Honda Civic, complaining of ankle pain. … They’re still on scene. Medics are also en route.

A 29-year-old woman was struck by a Honda Civic at Mount Vernon Avenue and West Glebe Road (Arlandria, MVA corridor); ankle injury, driver stayed, and a transport unit was requested minutes in. The same intersection as the August 1 corridor hit-and-run — and the corner where the corridor meets the Glebe crossing that anchors Arlandria’s walkshed. A VRU strike on the Mount Vernon Avenue corridor.

John Carlyle St & Duke St

It’s going to be a female struck by a vehicle. The vehicle is still on scene, a blue Toyota. The female is conscious and alert. Fire is also en route.

A woman in her 30s was struck by a blue Toyota at John Carlyle Street and Duke Street mid-afternoon; the driver stayed, she was conscious and alert, and eight minutes in units downgraded the response to “minimal injuries.” The same intersection as the May 3 strike by Whole Foods. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Dot offset ~45 m east along Duke St to avoid stacking on may-05.

4646 Seminary Rd at Mark Center Ave

It’s going to be a vehicle versus a scooter. Vehicle is still on scene. The patient is up and moving. Fire is en route.

An adult riding a scooter was struck by a vehicle at 4646 Seminary Road — in front of Francis Hammond Middle School, at the Library Lane crossing. The rider was up and moving, the driver stayed, and the parties moved into the school parking lot. The second VRU strike on this block of Seminary in two months (Kenmore Ave & Seminary Rd, Sep 1). Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Dot offset ~30 m west along Seminary Rd to avoid stacking on sep-01.

Gristmill Pl & Hoffman St

Hit-and-run pedestrian struck, routine response. Gristmill Place and Hoffman Street. Caller advised she was hit by a silver Lexus. [… tag — redacted.] Advised that it did stop but then kept going. Stated it hit her foot.

Everything after the striking vehicle’s description — a partial tag readback and the location where the caller met officers — has been withheld and redacted from the clip.

A woman was struck by a silver Lexus at Gristmill Place and Hoffman Street (Eisenhower East); the driver stopped, then kept going. It hit her foot — a routine response, no medics dispatched. The same intersection as the July 5 strike — the second pedestrian struck at this corner this year, and both drivers left. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide. Dot offset ~40 m north to avoid stacking on jul-04.

Wythe St & N Washington St (at the Exxon)

MVC injury, pedestrian strike. … Priority response is authorized. Private caller — he was struck on his bike by a black Volkswagen Beetle.

A cyclist was struck by the driver of a black Volkswagen Beetle. Dispatch sent units to “Wood St”; the response traffic and the scene — the Exxon at Wythe Street and North Washington — reconcile it to Wythe. The cyclist declined transport. The scene reads as a rider hit at the lot’s edge by a vehicle leaving the Exxon — the kind of crash that can be deemed a non-reportable “parking lot” incident even when the person hit was on a bike beside a Route 1 couplet corner that already carries a September strike. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide.

N Fayette St & Oronoco St

See the pedestrian struck at Fayette and Oronoco — but the notes say they’re at the urgent care at Fannon.

A pedestrian was struck at North Fayette Street and Oronoco Street and made their own way to urgent care — the kind of strike that produces an ER visit but never a scene. Fire was released on arrival and the ticket moved to the police side; no vehicle description aired. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide.

Cameron St & N West St

Report of a pedestrian struck. Possibly going to be a female patient. Going to be a Tesla on scene. Pedestrian is not moving, but they are breathing. PD is responding, priority one.

A woman was struck by the driver of a Tesla at Cameron Street and North West Street — a block from Jefferson-Houston PreK–8, right as school let out. She was down in the middle of the street, not moving but breathing; police ran priority one, an Arlington medic unit assisted, and westbound Cameron was closed with DASH and Metro diverted. ALXnow reported she was taken to the hospital. The most serious strike of the week.

King St & N Deering St

Motor vehicle crash, hit and run, pedestrian struck at King and North Deering. Pedestrian was struck by a gold Nissan that kept going. Medics also en route, priority response is authorized.

A pedestrian was struck by the driver of a gold Nissan at King Street and North Deering Street — and the driver kept going. Two minutes later the pedestrian told officers he was okay and declined an ambulance; units were slowed and fire released. A minor-injury hit-and-run on upper King Street. Off both watched corridors; VRU strikes are tracked citywide.

S Washington St & Green St

Pedestrians struck at South Washington Street and Green Street. Callers advise they hit someone at a crosswalk.

A man was struck in the crosswalk at South Washington Street and Green Street — reported by the driver of the gray Toyota 4Runner themselves. He was on the ground but talking and trying to get up; southbound Washington was blocked entirely. The second strike at this exact corner in 17 days (Oct 5) and the latest in the Route 1 couplet series — with Wythe & Washington on Oct 20, the seventh couplet strike since September 6. Dot offset ~32 m north along Washington to avoid stacking on the Oct 5 dot.

604 Notabene Dr at Old Dominion Blvd

It’s going to be for a pedestrian struck. A male was hit while he was on a scooter. He’s complaining of arm, knee, and head injury. APD is on the scene.

A hit-and-run with injuries on Notabene Drive at Old Dominion Boulevard — and the radio accounts of the mechanism are mixed, so this card records the uncertainty. The officer’s flag-down relay describes a man “hit by a scooter”; the fire channel’s more detailed version says he was hit while on a scooter — a scooter rider struck by a driver who fled, which is the reading this card leans on. What is not uncertain: arm, knee, and head injuries, and a transport that was upgraded mid-run from Alexandria to Fairfax — the regional trauma center. No description of the vehicle that fled ever aired, and no suspect lookout followed. “Otterbeam” and “Nottaveen” in the raw audio are transcription artifacts of Notabene.
