A black married couple was allegedly threatened and chased by racist assailants down a rural Virginia road - resulting in a traumatizing car wreck.
Amylah Majors, 23, and Jamaria Gaskins, 24, said they were viciously attacked and terrorized with a firearm on the evening of July 20 while traveling through Spotsylvania County.
The wives were headed to Gaskins's mother's house when they pulled over to check out their car after running over debris and hearing a loud noise.
A man spotted them and immediately came out of his home. He flashed them a 'thumbs up,' so the women thought he was going to help them with their car troubles.
But instead of the assistance they were expecting, Majors and Gaksins were allegedly bombarded with racial slurs and violence.
'We were chased, threatened with firearms, and called racial slurs by three white individuals who acted as if they were part of a white supremacist group,' Majors wrote in a GoFundMe post.
'Two of them physically attacked my wife while brandishing a gun and shouting threats.'
They were allegedly targeted by Mark Goodman, 59, and Elizabeth Wolfrey, 32, who both face charges regarding the horrifying attack.
The third man has not been named because he was not charged, Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office Maj. Delbert Myrick told the Fredricksburg Free Press.
Pictures from the ordeal showed Wolfrey sinisterly grinning as she waved a gun in the air.
Goodman was captured pulling down his pants and showing his backside to Majors and Gaskins.
Majors wrote the racist trio called her and her wife the 'n-word' and told them they 'didn't belong there.'
As the culprits taunted and berated the couple, Gaskins was on the phone with the police.
The situation escalated when Majors and Gaskins tried to flee the scene for safety. When they went to drive away, the tormenters allegedly started trailing them.
'One of them rode up beside us on a 4-wheeler and aimed a gun directly at my head through the driver's window,' Majors wrote.
'In that moment, we truly believed we weren't going to make it out alive.'
In the midst of all the chaos, the women were 'chased into a crash' after Wolfrey allegedly flashed her gun at them again. Majors was ejected from their car.
A shocking picture of the crashed vehicle showed the car completely totaled with its airbags deployed.
Majors sustained severe injuries. According to her chilling retelling of the incident, she woke up in the hospital with a fractured spine and head injuries, as well as a broken clavicle and rib.
She shared a photo of herself with bruising all over her face and swelling around her eye sockets from the impact of the crash.
While Gaskins's injuries were less severe, both women are still suffering from concussions, according to the Fredricksburg Free Press.
'And yet - we're not paralyzed. We're not dead. That's nothing but God,' Majors wrote on the fundraiser page, which has already raised more than $1,735.
'This was not just an accident - this was an attempted act of violence meant to harm and silence us.
'This was hate. Targeted. Deliberate. And deadly. I'm not sharing this for sympathy - I'm sharing it because silence protects the people who did this.'
Myrick told the outlet Wolfrey is charged with one count of pointing and brandishing a firearm and Goodman is charged with indecent exposure.
There is an ongoing investigation to determine if more charges, such as hate crime, are going to be filed.
'The big thing we're trying to express is we understand the community's outrage, or concerns or anxiety over this incident and similar incidents that have arisen in the community,' Myrick said.
'We don't want racism. We don't want hate in our community. We want a happy community where everybody gets along.'
Investigators reviewed footage that appears to be connected to the ordeal, according to a social media statement from the sheriff's office.
This video allegedly captured the suspects using 'racially insensitive language and behavior' towards the victims.
Sheriff Roger L. Harris said: 'On July 20, 2025, deputies from the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office responded to a reported dispute involving a firearm in the 4300 block of Partlow Road.
'During the course of the incident, a related motor vehicle crash also occurred.
'Deputies conducted a preliminary investigation at the scene, which resulted in two individuals being charged with Brandishing a Firearm and Indecent Exposure.
'The case remains active and is currently under investigation by the Criminal Investigations Division.
Moe Petway, president of the Spotsylvania NAACP, said the organization is monitoring the investigation and is pushing for the couple to get the justice they deserve.'
Wolfrey and Goodman are set for arraignment on September 20.
