A weekend crash on Granby Street in Norfolk caused by an intoxicated driver took the lives of two people.  The driver, 24 year old Richard B. Freeman of Norfolk, was driving his black BMW at a high rate of speed when he crashed near Granby and Kingsley Lane.

 

Freeman drove the BMW into a tree in the median in front of Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center early in the morning.  Police stated that speed was a factor, although they were not yet able to estimate how fast Freeman was driving.

 

A man and a woman died as a result of the crash, and three other people suffered injuries.  The deceased are Cameron Richardson, 25, of Chesapeake and Lauren Kok, 22, of Staten Island, N.Y.

 

Richardson was riding in the front passenger seat of the BMW when the accident happened and Kok was in the backseat.

 

Two of the other injured people had injures that were minor, while the third is in critical condition at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

 

According to police the accident is still under investigation, and so far Freeman has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
