Cyclist Dies from Alexandria Crash
Accident was at the intersection of Fort Hunt and Belle Haven in Alexandria on Nov 14th. The Fairfax County police put up signs asking for witnesses last week. I don't think it was a hit and run. A ghost bike was there this weekend.

I drive thru this intersection every day. Very Sad. He was an avid cyclist who loved touring.
