NORFOLK, Va. – A 66-year-old Virginia Beach man who was involved in a January 6 crash on Northampton Boulevard has died from his injuries.

Police responded at 10:15 a.m. to a two-vehicle crash in the 6200 block of Northampton Boulevard, near Premium Outlets Boulevard. The 66-year-old, identified as Virginia Beach General District Court Judge Robert F. Hagans, was driving eastbound on Northampton when he rear-ended a Dodge Ram stopped at a light.

Hagans was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital for treatment, but died Thursday.

Chief Judge Daniel R. Lahne released this statement:

The Court is greatly saddened by the untimely passing of Judge Robert F. Hagans, Jr.. He will be fondly remembered as a valued colleague, a dedicated public servant, and a wonderful friend. Our profound sympathies go out to his family and his friends, of which there were many. He will be sorely missed.
