HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — Virginia State Police are investigating two separate vehicle crashes in Virginia Beach and Accomack County that resulted in fatalities on the morning of Sunday, May 7.
Troopers say they were called out to investigate a single-vehicle crash just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
The crash occurred on Interstate 264 west, east of First Colonial Road, and according to troopers, a 2013 Subaru Impreza was traveling at a high speed before losing control and running off the roadway into a tree.
Troopers say there were four people in the vehicle, three were transported to a local hospital for treatment and one male passenger in the backseat died at the scene.
This is an ongoing investigation, according to state police.
Later on Sunday morning around 8:30 a.m., troopers also responded to a two-vehicle crash in Accomack County that resulted in one fatality. The crash occurred on Willfisher Road and Saxis Road.
A driver in a Ford Explorer was traveling on Saxis Road when he crossed double solid lines into oncoming traffic and struck a box truck head-on, police say. The truck was pushed into a ditch and the Explorer spun out in the roadway, according to police.
Police say the 82-year-old driver of the truck did not sustain injuries, but the driver of the Explorer, who was not wearing a seatbelt, died upon impact.
Police have since identified the driver of the Explorer as 32-year-old Adam Godwin of Bloxom, Virginia. They also determined that Godwin was at fault for the incident.
