8-year-old Killed in Suffolk Crash, Grandmother May be Charged


Posted on Mar 23, 2009

Sunday morning, an Isuzu Rodeo SVU driven by a 46-year-old Newport News woman hydroplaned on the wet Suffolk road, ran off the highway, struck an embankment and rolled over.  The woman and her 8-year-old granddaughter were both ejected from the vehicle; the child was pronounced dead at the scene.  Though investigators say speed was not a factor, they do not believe either person was wearing a seatbelt.  Investigators found an expired rejected inspection sticker on the SUV; the vehicle had not been able to pass inspection due to defective brakes.  Charges are pending as the investigation continues.

 

Please remember to be safe, and visit the section of our website that pertains to Virginia's seatbelt laws.
