22-year-old identified as crash victim
A Mechanicsville woman died in a single-vehicle accident in Gloucester during the early morning hours of Monday, Oct. 16, according to state police.
State police did not release the victim’s name until Wednesday afternoon, when she was positively identified by the chief medical examiner’s office as 22-year-old Lindsey Blair Greggs of Mechanicsville.
Greggs was driving a 2007 Honda Civic eastbound on Glenns Road (Route 198) west of Turks Ferry Road, state police said, when she ran off the roadway. The vehicle struck a ditch and hit a tree, causing it to overturn and catch on fire.
State police said the vehicle rapidly became fully engulfed and Greggs died at the scene.
Greggs was a practical nursing student at Rappahannock Community College. “Our thoughts are now with her family, friends and classmates,” a statement from RCC read. “Vincent Funeral in West Point is handling arrangements.”
