An electric unicyclist was tragically killed in a crash in Chesterfield County on Thursday, January 9th.

According to Chesterfield County Police, the unicyclist was thrown from the vehicle and found lying on the road by responding officers.
Upon arrival, police officers confirmed the victim’s injuries were severe, and they were quickly transported to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, the victim succumbed to their injuries, marking yet another devastating reminder of the dangers of electric unicycles when involved in traffic accidents.
The Silverado driver, who stayed at the scene and has been cooperating with the authorities, was not reported to have sustained any injuries.
