Windsor woman dies in tragic car wreck on Rt. 258


Posted on Jun 29, 2010

A Windsor woman with long ties to the Tidewater area died in an automobile accident on Friday.  The crash happened when the woman, 47 year old Karen Phillips Chase, veered off the road as she was headed south on Route 258 near Route 799.

 

According to Virginia State Police, Chase overcorrected after leaving the roadway, causing her 2003 Volkswagen Beetle convertible to cross over into oncoming traffic.  As a result she crashed into a 2007 Nissan Altima.

 

Unfortunately Chase was seriously injured in the accident and died at the scene.  She was wearing her seatbelt when the accident happened.  The driver of the Nissan was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.  Police do not believe that alcohol was a factor in the wreck.

 

Chase was a registered nurse who had worked for over 25 years in the Western Tidewater Health District.  She is survived by her husband, the Isle of Wight Emergency Services Coordinator Rusty Chase and three daughters, Lindsey, Lauren and Leigh-Ann.

 

To help pay for the Chase daughters’ education, the Carrollton Volunteer Fire Department hosted a bluegrass concert, with all proceeds going to a fund for the girls.  Chase was buried in a ceremony at Windsor Cemetery.
