Recent Warhill Grad Dies in I-64 Crash

By WYDaily Staff Monday, July 11, 2011

Shantell D. Dobson, who lived in the Raintree Villas neighborhood, was driving a 1994 Acura Integra eastbound on I-64 at mile marker 233 just after 6 a.m. when she apparently lost control, overcorrected and ran off the road, striking a tree on the driver's side door. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dobson's passenger was transported to an area hospital with injuries. No further information was available.

Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Michelle Anaya said Dobson was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

According to a list provided last month by Williamsburg James City County Schools, Dobson was a 2011 graduate of Warhill High.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
