A 13-year-old boy was injured by an SUV in a crash in Del Ray this morning (Nov. 2).
The boy was struck by a silver 2003 Honda CRV around 11:15 a.m. while in the crosswalk of E. Oxford Avenue and Mount Vernon Avenue. The Alexandria Police Department recovered the Virginia license plate number, and all parties remained on scene, according to APD radio transmissions.
First responders reported that the boy was conscious and walking and suffered an injury to his hip.
ALXnow has reached out to APD for more on this incident.
There have been a number of recent crashes involving pedestrians throughout Alexandria, including one injuring a woman last month.
In April, a woman was killed after being struck by a vehicle in Old Town North. That same month, a pedestrian was struck in Del Ray, and another was struck in the area of N. Van Dorn Street and Sanger Avenue. On April 11, a pedestrian was struck on N. Van Dorn Street while getting out of the way of an Alexandria Fire Department engine. A child was struck by a vehicle on Sanger Avenue near William Ramsay Elementary School on April 15.
Alexandria’s Vision Zero dashboard updated through July 14 showed 11 recorded pedestrian crashes in 2026, including two with suspected serious injuries.
Separate data from Northern Virginia Families for Safe Streets found reports of near-misses over the past year and a half were concentrated around Del Ray and Old Town.
The city is taking broader actions to address pedestrian safety at intersections. Last week, the Alexandria Traffic and Parking Board voted to install “no turn on red” signage at all signalized intersections in the Old Town, Old Town North and Braddock/Parker-Gray neighborhoods.
Anyone with information on the crash can contact the APD non-emergency number at 703-746-4444. Callers can remain anonymous.
