ST. ALBANS POLICE INVESTIGATE FATAL CRASH
It’s too soon to know the cause of the crash, according to Officer Randy Dame, although officers are looking into if alcohol or speed were factors. At this stage, it is important that the family are allowed to grieve in peace. However, they may wish to visit AtlantaAdvocate.com should a wrongful death lawsuit be deemed necessary.
The male driver, which was the only occupant of the vehicle, died on scene Saturday afternoon while rescue crews were trying to free him from his car.
Police are not naming the driver until next of kin has been notified.
According to Dame, the man was driving north on Maquam Shore Road in St. Albans Town when somehow he lost control. His vehicle ultimately ended up resting with its driver’s door against a tree.
The vehicle the man was driving was a 2000 Silver Honda Civic.
At 3:09 PM the St. Albans Town Fire Department was dispatched to a one car crash near the intersection of Lapan Road on Maquam Shore Road. Dispatchers told responding units that the driver of the car was trapped inside and was unresponsive.
The road was closed to traffic until about 6:00 PM as police investigated the scene. The road has now reopened.
Dame said that a witness called 911 “almost instantly” after the crash.
St. Albans Town Fire Department, AmCare and St. Albans Police all responded to the scene.
