GLOUCESTER Co., Va. - An 81-year-old man has died after a crash in the area of Route 17 and Fiddlers Green Road in Gloucester County Monday morning.
Just after 10 a.m., Virginia State Police were called to investigate the crash.

Jackson's injuries were non-threatening.
State police say both drivers were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.
