Fundraiser Started For Family Of New London Woman Killed In Crash

NEW LONDON, CT — A fundraiser has been started to help the family of a New London woman killed in a wrong-way crash on I-95 in Virginia.

Melissa Dorsett, 36, of New London, was killed and a man in the car was seriously injured in the wreck in Greensville, VA, Tuesday night.

Police were pursuing a 2018 BMW that refused to stop, according to NBC 29. The car made a U-turn and began traveling south in the northbound lanes, striking another car head on.

The GoFundMe was started by Vivian Carmona Luma and reads:

Please help raise funds to support the children of Melissa Dorsett, who was tragically killed in a car accident on Tuesday, December 1, 2021. The money will be used to help pay for funeral services and other expenses that the family was not prepared for.

Melissa was a young mother of three children, Alexis (18 years-old), Antonio (14 years-old) and Angelo (10 years-old). Melissa was a caring and dedicated mother to her children. They will miss her terribly. The family is still in shock from her tragic death. As a family, we will love and support Alexis, Antonio and Angelo. We know Melissa will watch over her children from heaven.

Thank you for your love and support.

The Carmona Family
