The Richmond Police Department is investigating a fatal car wreck yesterday afternoon on Huguenot Road, apparently caused by the driver’s medical emergency.
At approximately 3:10 p.m., January 12, a vehicle driven by
Harry C. Stoddard, 70, of the 3500 block of Old Gun Road East, ran a red light
at the intersection of Huguenot Road and the southbound off-ramp of Chippenham
Parkway. Stoddard was exiting the Parkway at the time. His vehicle crossed
through the intersection and crashed into a guardrail before coming to rest
against a light pole. Stoddard was transported to a local hospital where he was
pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. of an apparent medical condition.
A passenger in the vehicle was also transported to the
hospital with serious injuries.
The RPD Crash Team responded to the scene where they took
measurements and statements from witnesses. No charges will be filed.
