The fatal crashes were reported in eight cities: Bedford, Caroline, Floyd, Henrico, Henry, Montgomery, and Nothampton, and Lynchburg.
“We continue to be on an unsustainable pace for traffic fatalities,” said Col. Gary T. Settle, superintendent of the Virginia State Police. “As the year winds down, we cannot stress enough the need for people to slow down, to buckle up, to place their complete focus on driving, and to drive sober.”
