Maryland man dies
A Maryland man died after a crash in Caroline County early Tuesday morning.
According to Virginia State Police Sgt. Thomas Molnar, troopers responded to a single-vehicle crash at about 6 a.m. on Jericho Road west of Hewlett Road.
The driver of a 1994 Cadillac sedan ran off the right side of the roadway and struck a tree stump, Molnar said. He said the impact caused the vehicle to overturn and come to rest onto its roof.
Samuel B. Herbert Jr., 81, of California, Md., died at the scene. Jericho Road was closed for about two hours.
Speed and alcohol are not thought to have been factors in the crash, Molnar said.
