Hey! Over Here! Fairfax County's Top 5 Locations for Crashes Involving Distracted Drivers
Crashes from distracted drivers increase in the region.

With the number of crashes involving distracted drivers increasing in Northern Virginia, the Fairfax County Police Department is drawing attention to the problem with some attention-grabbing numbers.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, which began with Fairfax County police officers undergoing the department's first-ever distracted driver training session for FCPD officers.

Distracted driving continues to be a major factor in crashes, and the numbers are growing steadily in Fairfax County. There were 1,060 crashes attributed to distracted driving in 2011, 1,128 in 2012 and 1,175 in 2013, according to Fairfax County Police statistics.

The top five locations for crashes involving distracted drivers in 2013 were:

•Colvin Run Road/Leesburg Pike
•Georgetown Pike/Leesburg Pike
•Leesburg Pike/Lewinsville Road
•Fairfax County Parkway/Sunrise Valley Drive
•Franconia Road/South Van Dorn Street.

•Braddock/Backlick Road. People turning right don't attention those turning left into same lane. People turning right and left don't pay attention to pedestrian. Very much dangerous introsection. Beware, beware of a woman with a broken heart.

There are more than that around here. What about West Ox road right in front of Franklin Farm? Cars used to hit that old fence all the time.

That's nice. I'll work extra hard to be on my phone while driving during April. But honestly...this is a year round effort for me, thanks.

Ive been on my mountain bike on the fairfax connector and since its hard to follow at some points been forced on the road in areas like those mentioned above. After a few minutes of looking around by biking on the roads in these areas my friend and I concluded it would lead to 'death by Lexus' so we got off the roads and returned home.

No shoulders plus rich JO's on their phones is a dangerous combo
