Wrong-way Driver Kills Norfolk Father on I-295


Posted on Dec 31, 2009

Around 11:40 p.m. last night, 19-year-old Nicholas Sickal drove his Dodge Ram the wrong way down I-295 outside of Richmond.  Travelling south in the northbound lanes, Sickal's Dodge Ram collided with a Cadillac DeVille driven by 51-year-old William E. Goode, Jr.  Sickal suffered non life-threatening injuries and was taken to VCU Medical Center in Richmond.  Goode died at the scene while his 8-year-old daughter Alysha, who was wearing a seat belt, suffered a serious head injury and was taken to VCU Medical Center.  Alysha's mother passed away two years ago after battling breast cancer.  Police say alcohol was a factor in the crash and charges are pending.
