In a tragic start to the new year, the Virginia State Police are currently investigating a fatal car crash that occurred in the early hours of New Year’s Eve in Warren County. The incident, involving a 2021 Dodge Charger, resulted in the loss of a life and serious injuries.

At approximately 2:10 a.m. on December 31st, the Dodge Charger, driven by 24-year-old Evan A. Goldsborough of Warren County, was traveling south on Browntown Road near Park Ridge Court. The vehicle, reportedly moving at a high speed, veered off the road, collided with a rock, and then struck several trees.

Tragically, 28-year-old passenger Brian A. Jenkins, also a Warren County resident, did not survive the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, Goldsborough, sustained serious injuries in the accident.
