A man who collided with a retaining wall outside of the Culpeper Christian School is facing charges of driving while intoxicated. The man, Simuel A. Washington Jr., 23, was driving his Kia sedan on Old Rixeyville Road when the accident happened.
Washington, a Culpeper County resident from Korea Road, crashed into the wall after 10pm. No other vehicles were involved in the crash. It is likely that Washington lost control of the vehicle before it crashed.
Washington was charged with driving under the influence and was also issued a summons for reckless driving and failure to maintain proper control. He was not injured in the crash, nor was his female passenger.
This week students at Culpeper Christian School (CCS) returned to school, so let’s hope when they see the damaged retaining wall it serves as a lesson to all those future drivers about the importance of safe driving.
Single-vehicle accidents like this one usually happen when the driver loses control of the vehicle, either because they are distracted, intoxicated or they fall asleep. Most of the time the only person to suffer injuries or property damage is the driver of the vehicle, however sometimes other vehicles or pedestrians are involved.
Any Virginia driver whose negligence leads to a car crash involving injuries or property damage can be held accountable for their actions by other road users or by the other passengers in their car.
