Pedestrian Fatality Reported on Chamberlayne Avenue: A tragic incident occurred recently in Richmond, Virginia, where a pedestrian lost their life after being struck by a vehicle on Chamberlayne Avenue. According to reports, the driver veered onto the sidewalk, leading to this devastating event.
The accident occurred around 11 a.m. in the 2300 block of Chamberlayne Avenue, between W. Graham Road and Wickham Street.
