VSP seeks help in hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of a pedestrian

Virginia State Police (VSP) continues I’m asking for the public’s help in identifying two vehicles that struck a pedestrian in Fauquier County on Friday.

The hit-and-run accident occurred on Route 806 (Elk Run Road) at Flippo Lane at 5:47 p.m.

A male pedestrian was walking eastbound on Elk Run Road when he was struck by a northbound SUV. The pedestrian was then hit by an unknown southbound vehicle.

None of the vehicles stopped at the scene of the accident.

The pedestrian, Garland J. Heddings, 73, of Catlett died at the scene.

The first vehicle you notice is probably one 2001-2003 Nissan Frontier, silver colored. The Nissan will have damage to the front end and driver side.

The unknown vehicle may have damage to the front end.

The crash is still under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call Virginia State Police Senior Trooper J. Tanner at (540) 347-6200 or email [email protected]
