Man accused in fatal crash faces DUI, manslaughter charges


Posted on Jan 26, 2010

Virginia State Police have charged a 19 year old man, Nicholas R. Sickal of Barhamsville, of drunken driving, involuntary manslaughter, and maiming for his role in an auto accident that killed one person and injured another.

 

Sickal was allegedly heading south in the northbound lanes of I-295 when the accident happened.  According to police, Sickal was originally traveling north when he stopped his 1999 Dodge Ram pickup truck and did a U-turn on the highway.  As a result of that maneuver, he crashed into an oncoming Cadillac DeVille one quarter-mile south of the Pole Green Road interchange.

 

The Cadillac was being driven by William E. Goode, Jr., 51.  Goode was killed in the collision, and his daughter, Aysha, 8, was taken to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) medical center with serious injuries.  Aysha has since been released but is now without parents, as her mother died in 2007 from breast cancer.

 

A Virginia state trooper apprehended Sickal, who surrendered.  After he was arrested and charged, he was released on a personal recognizance bond of $5,000 awaiting a hearing in Hanover County General District Court.
