Arrest made after collision with scooter leaves Manassas man dead

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — A man was arrested for his involvement in a collision that killed a person on a scooter earlier this week, authorities with the Prince William County Police Department (PWCPD) announced.

The charges against 37-year-old Little David Arris Bowser Mason stem from the night of July 9. Minutes before 9 p.m., PWCPD responded to the intersection of Portsmouth Road and Ashland Avenue to investigate a crash.

Investigators said the driver of a Dodge Journey — later identified as Mason — was turning left onto Ashland Avenue as the operator of a Ninebot KickScooter was on the sidewalk. Without stopping, the e-scooter entered the intersection, where the two collided.

The e-scooter driver was not wearing a helmet at the time. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he passed away on July 10.

He was later identified as 40-year-old Eric Corrales.

The driver and passengers in the Dodge were not hurt.

PWCPD said Mason did not have a valid driver’s license at the time.

He was charged with driving without a valid operator’s license and released on a court summons. Authorities noted they are still working to determine whether additional charges will be sought.
