Spotsylvania Woman, 70, Struck, Killed By SUV On Saturday Night

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — A 70-year-old Spotsylvania woman died Saturday night after being struck by an SUV as she was crossing a street located south of Fredericksburg.

Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s deputies responded around 9:15 p.m. for the report of a vehicle crash involving a pedestrian in the area of Tidewater Trail and Glendas Way.

Investigators determined that Wanda Vernell Norbrey was crossing Tidewater Trail when she was struck by a 2018 GMC SUV that was traveling northbound on the road, according to reports. When deputies arrived, they immediately began administering life-saving measures, but Norbey succumbed to her injuries.

Although the area had a crosswalk, the sheriff office’s Accident Reconstruction Team is trying to determine if the crosswalk sign was blinking at the time Norbrey was crossing the road.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information is asked to contact Deputy R. Mele at 540-507-7498, ext. 3029. Online: www.p3tips.com or www.spotsylvaniacrimesolvers.org.
