Friday, February 15, 2019
UPDATE: February 19th, 2019
The decedents of this crash have been identified.
The operator of the Nissan has been identified as 33-year-old Lance Leaundrae Williams of Norfolk, VA.
The pedestrian has been identified as 27-year-old Keeahney Dwahquan Scott of Chesapeake, VA
UPDATE: February 15, 2019
Fatal Crash Team investigators have determined the following.
A 2008 Nissan Altima was traveling northbound in the 800 block of S. Military Highway approaching the intersection of Indian River Road. It was occupied by the driver and one front seat passenger. It was reported that the Nissan was traveling at an extreme high rate of speed and had intentionally disregarded multiple red traffic signals.
As the Nissan was approaching the intersection of Indian River Road, a 2004 Toyota Camry was stopped in the southbound turn lane at the 800 block of S. Military Highway. The left turn signal cycled to green and the Toyota proceeded into the intersection to travel eastbound on Indian River Road.
The Nissan impacted the Toyota causing the Toyota to enter a counter-clockwise rotation toward the east side of S. Military Highway. During this same time, a Pedestrian was walking south on the east side of S. Military Highway. The Toyota continued to spin, struck a curb and continued northbound along the sidewalk. The Toyota subsequently struck the Pedestrian while coming to rest.
The operator of the Nissan was ejected from the vehicle as it rotated and eventually rolled over.
Both the operator of the Nissan and the Pedestrian were pronounced dead at the scene.
Four other occupants were transported to a local hospital for minor injuries.
