Spotsylvania County, VA – A 56-year-old woman was killed Friday afternoon following a single-vehicle crash on Chancellor Road, according to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called at approximately 4:40 p.m. Friday to the 7200 block of Chancellor Road after reports of a vehicle off the roadway. When deputies arrived, they located a 1990 Ford Ranger that had left the road and overturned.
Preliminary findings indicate the vehicle ran slightly off the right side of the roadway. Investigators say the driver then allegedly overcorrected, causing the vehicle to cross back over the road before rolling.
The driver was identified as Kimberly Riggleman, 56, of Spotsylvania County. She was pronounced deceased at the scene. Authorities confirmed that her next of kin has been notified.
The crash occurred along a stretch of Chancellor Road frequently traveled by local residents and commuters, prompting temporary traffic disruptions in the area Friday evening as deputies worked the scene.
The incident remains under investigation by the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Reconstruction Unit, which will determine whether additional factors such as speed, road conditions, or mechanical issues contributed to the crash.
Sheriff Roger L. Harris and members of the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office expressed their condolences to Riggleman’s family and friends.
