UPDATE, 12:55 p.m.: A motorcycle driver died at the scene after a vehicle struck the motorcycle on Warrenton Road in Stafford County, the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday. The crash was at the intersection of Village Parkway and Warrenton Road at about 4:50 a.m.
The sheriff’s office said the motorcycle had broken down in the left through lane when the vehicle hit it. Both directions were closed while medical aid was given and the Traffic Safety Unit started its investigation. The road reopened a few hours later. The office said the driver was pronounced dead at the scene and next of kin has been notified. It did not release a name. It said the initial investigation shows no indication that impairment or speed was a factor. The office asked anyone with information or camera footage to contact Deputy Martin at [email protected] or 540-658-4450.
