The Virginia State Police have updated some details on an accident that occurred shortly after 5:00 PM Tuesday evening.

According to State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya, preliminary investigations reveal that a 2021 Toyota Camry, driven by Justin Soeum, was traveling at a high rate of speed in the southbound lanes of Route 13 just north of Accomac. Soeum lost control of his vehicle, ran off the roadway and struck a 2013 Chrysler 200 head on, causing the Chrysler to flip into the southbound lanes. The driver of the Chrysler 200, 44 year old Angela Marie Kellam, died upon impact. The Camry became fully engulfed after impact.

After the initial crash, the driver of a 2003 Yamaha motorcycle, traveling in the southbound lanes, laid his motorcycle down and struck the Chrysler. Two other motorcyclists traveling in the southbound lanes laid their motorcycles down, but not striking any other vehicles.

The three motorcyclists all suffered non-life threatening injuries, and were transported to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital.
