HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — The Hanover County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate after a woman was killed in a crash over the weekend.
Shortly after 11 p.m. on Sunday, March 5, deputies were called to the 7200 block of Brooking Way for a single-vehicle crash.
According to authorities, a preliminary investigation into the incident revealed that a 2008 Mazda four-door sedan had been traveling on Brooking Way when it left the roadway and collided with a tree head-on.
