By Hugh Garbrick

A vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in Loudoun County, Virginia, at around midnight Friday, authorities said.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that Kenneth Burdette Henderson, 73, died after a vehicle hit him near the intersection of N. Berlin Turnpike and Bavarian Way in Lovettsville.

Deputies said the driver of the vehicle that hit Henderson stayed at the scene of the crash, adding that impairment and vehicle speed was not a factor.

They also said Henderson was not in a crosswalk when the crash happened.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Unit continues to investigate the crash. Anyone with more information is asked to call Investigator T. Alpy at 703-771-1021.

A golf course for ‘the people’ faces a presidential makeover

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A pack of cyclists whisked by along the circuit at East Potomac Park while the golf course parking lot filled with luxury SUVs parked next to older, inexpensive economy cars, all with the Washington Monument in the background. The scene highlighted what residents say are the park's best features: its accessibility and affordability right in the nation's capital. The historic park, especially the golf course, has caught the eye of President Donald Trump, who wants to turn it into a world-class golf venue. It's part of his grand vision for Washington, D.C., where he has torn down storied structures, remade or renamed others and deployed the National Guard for more than a year. But some residents fear the planned changes to the golf course — where Trump has visited with a cabinet member, a well-known golf course architect and blueprints — risk altering the character of a place that has served Washingtonians of many stripes for more than a century. Turning the park into an upscale golf course will mean costlier fees and a loss of public space, residents worry.
