In Harrisonburg, Virginia, a man was killed despite wearing a safety helmet while riding his motorcycle. Virginia reporters said that 62-year-old Ben Miller struck a deer on Route 250 near Staunton on Sunday afternoon.

In Amherst, Virginia, another motorcycle accident was recorded by Virginia State Police. In this case, which occurred at the intersection Old Wright Shop Road and Wright Shop Road Saturday night, speeding, reckless driving, and alcohol were involved. The motorcycle rider sped away after police attempted to pull the man over for suspicious driving – and the man sped away and hit a nearby embankment. The injured man was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital for treatment. There was a warrant for his arrest out in Norfolk and his license had been suspended. He has been charged with a Virginia DUI, driving with a suspended license, and may face other citations as well.

The weekend before, 43-year-old Ramon Bermudez of Richmond, Virginia died on Sunday afternoon driving southbound on Interstate 64 in Goochland County. At the time of the accident, the man was on the exit ramp for Sate Route 288 when he lost control of his vehicle.

A non-motorcycle-related crash also killed three men on nearby Route 60 outside of Richmond. In that fatal car accident, which took place on Saturday, the driver of the car lost control and plowed into several trees. The three men were identified as 25-year-old Lon G. Hogge Jr. of Providence Forge, 26-year-old Clarence B. Jackson III of Providence Forge, and 20-year-old Paul J. Mula of Quinton. Only one of the men was wearing a seat belt.
