Virginia Traffic Death Toll Raised by Richmond Traffic Fatality


Posted on Jul 19, 2009

A 25-year-old man was killed in a two-vehicle crash early yesterday morning in South Richmond.

It happened shortly after 5 a.m. when a westbound car traveling fast on Hull Street Road near Belt Boulevard collided with an eastbound flatbed wrecker as it was making a left turn, said Richmond police Capt. Scott Booth.

Richmond resident Dennis Smith, a front-seat passenger in the car, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the car and its two other passengers were taken to VCU Medical Center. Their condition was unavailable. The driver of the wrecker apparently was not hurt.

No charges had been filed in the wreck.

Smith's death brings to 379 the number of highway fatalities in Virginia this year, compared with 437 at this time last year.
