The Chesterfield County Police Department has identified the victim of a fatal single-vehicle crash on Sunday evening as 19-year-old Edikson San Jose Dubon of Richmond, Virginia.
The accident occurred around 5:20 p.m. on July 20 in the 4700 block of Iron Bridge Road. Officers were dispatched to the scene following reports of a serious crash involving an SUV. Upon arrival, authorities found the vehicle had veered off the road and collided with a tree. Dubon, who was the driver, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel.
Preliminary investigation suggests that Dubon was traveling eastbound on Iron Bridge Road at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the SUV. The vehicle left the roadway and struck the tree with significant force. Authorities have not reported any additional injuries, and it remains unclear whether anyone else was inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.
No further information has been released regarding contributing factors such as road conditions, weather, or mechanical failure. The Chesterfield County Police are continuing their investigation and are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 804-748-1251.
This heartbreaking incident underscores the serious dangers associated with speeding, particularly on roads with curves or roadside hazards. The sudden loss of such a young life has left a deep impact on family, friends, and the wider community.
As the investigation continues, police hope to gain a clearer understanding of the events leading up to the crash in order to help prevent future tragedies. No indications of foul play or the involvement of other vehicles have been disclosed at this time.
Authorities remind all drivers to observe posted speed limits and exercise caution—especially when operating larger vehicles like SUVs, which can be more difficult to control in emergency situations.
