JAMES CITY COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) — A man has died after being involved in a crash late Friday night in James City County.
He has been identified as 43-year-old James Faison III, 43, died as a result of injuries suffered in a crash involving a sedan and a motorcycle a little after 11 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Merrimac Trail and Government Road, according to James City County Police.
When officers arrived, they located a motorcyclist suffering from life-threatening injuries. He was transported by air to VCU Medical Center in Richmond for treatment and later died.
