APPOMATTOX- At 5:34 p.m., Virginia State Police responded to an eight-vehicle, chain-reaction crash on westbound Route 460, approximately four-tenths of a mile west of Cabin Field Road in Campbell County.
The preliminary investigation indicates that two Appomattox County Sheriff’s Deputies traveling home from the Central Virginia Criminal Justice Academy stopped to assist at the scene of an initial crash. Their vehicles were positioned in the two left lanes with emergency equipment activated.
A tractor-trailer approaching the crash scene swerved to avoid the vehicles and struck Deputy Burlie W. Duvall III, 33, of Concord. Duvall died at the scene.
Approximately seven people were transported to area hospitals with injuries ranging in severity. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.
The Virginia State Police extends its deepest condolences to the Appomattox County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Duvall's family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
