On August 8th at approximately 12:54 p.m. deputies responded to the intersection of Richmond Highway and Eskimo Hill Road for a report of an auto accident. Deputies quickly arrived on scene to discover a two-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle and a box truck.

The 19-year-old motorcycle driver was pronounced deceased on scene. The driver of the box truck was uninjured and remained on scene.

The preliminary investigation, along with crash scene evidence collected by our Traffic Safety Unit, indicated the motorcycle was traveling Northbound on Richmond Highway at a high rate of speed and struck the box truck as it turned left from Southbound Richmond Highway onto Eskimo Hill Road. Neither driver had enough reaction time to avoid the accident.

The motorcycle driver was identified as Fnu Sajid, of Stafford. The crash is still under investigation by Deputy W.J. Walker. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Mr. Sajid.
