Breaking News for Culpeper and Warrenton Accident Victims

Seventeen Year Old Dies in Car Chase Crash

Posted on Jan 03, 2012

When Nicholas Glover, 21, from Virginia Beach, saw the Sheriff’s Office deputy attempting to stop him for reckless driving, he fled. Moments later, Glover lost control of his 2000 Audi A4, ran off the opposite side of the road, and struck several trees.
His passenger Tyler K. Cassell, 17, also of Virginia Beach, was pronounced dead at the scene, while Glover was airlifted to VCU Medical Center in Richmond with serious injuries.
The accident occurred just before 7:30 PM on Saturday on Route 106. After attempting to stop the speeding car, the Charles City County deputy lost sight of the fleeing Audi. A motorist who had witnessed the crash alerted the police.
Police closed Route 106 for 6 hours after the accident. According to Sgt. Michelle Anaya, alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. Charges are pending while the investigation is ongoing.
For Virginia motorists who, in their overwhelming majority, use their vehicle responsibly, it is appalling to watch how inexperienced and irresponsible drivers make dangerous roads even more hazardous.
The Culpeper and Warrenton attorneys of Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas send their sincere condolences to the family and friends of Tyler C. Cassell who died in this tragic accident.
