Hamilton Woman Dies in Hillsboro Crash
The Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal crash that happened in Hillsboro early Sunday morning.
According to the report, deputies were called to the Stony Point Road roundabout on Rt. 9 just before 3 a.m. Jan. 30 for a report of a single vehicle crash. The preliminary investigation determined the driver of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler was eastbound on Rt. 9 when she traveled through the roundabout and struck a guardrail. The vehicle continued down an embankment where it rolled over.
The driver, Bernadette R. Reynolds, 22, of Hamilton, was transported to a hospital where she later died from her injuries. A passenger in the vehicle was also taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries described as serious but non-life-threatening.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
It was the first highway fatality in Loudoun County in 2022.
How dreadful to read about more carnage on Loudoun’s roadways. We’re not even out of January & already there’s a 2022 traffic fatality in Loudoun. To the family of Bernadette R. Reynolds, please accept my sincere condolences.
