Investigations are still underway of a fatal car accident near Dam Neck Road in Virginia Beach. A man headed north on Bold Ruler Drive early in the morning hit a curb, overcorrected, and caused his car to roll over.
The car, a 1999 Ford Contour sedan, rolled three times before crossing into the southbound lanes of traffic and slamming into a utility box. The man was thrown from his car as it rolled and was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to police the man was thrown from the vehicle because he was not wearing a seatbelt. He was also believed to be driving too fast. Lack of seatbelt use in rollover accidents often leads to serious or fatal consequences, with up to 70 percent of those thrown from a rolling car suffering fatal injuries.
Excessive speed is also a major contributor to serious accidents and is a sign of aggressive driving.
The name of the man has not yet been released, pending notification of his family. Police do not yet know if alcohol was a factor in the crash.
