A 13-year-old boy was killed by a garbage truck driver while riding a pedal-assist e-bike through a crosswalk in Fairfax City. The crash came months after the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted to eliminate high-school crossing guards, cutting about $1.89 million in police staffing costs, while the county was also expanding its Drone as First Responder program. The board later voted to restore funding for 11 crossing guard positions at 10 high schools.
