A Prince William County police officer died in a fiery wreck Monday afternoon.
Officer Chris Yung, 35, was responding to an earlier crash when his motorcycle was struck by a minivan on Virginia State Route 28 just outside of Manassas at approximately 2:04 p.m., according to Leesburg Today.
Yung was a seven-year veteran of the force and was assigned to the traffic unit as a motorcycle officer.
