NCL has confirmed the person killed in Tuesday afternoon’s accident on Route 29 just north of Rockfish River Road is 24 year old Brandon Wayne Drumheller of Lovingston. According to our conversation this morning with Trooper Hunter Burkhead of the Virginia State Police, Drumheller along with another passenger, 26 year old Kelly Ann Ragland of Schuyler, were thrown out of the car after losing control then landing upside down in the middle of Route 29 north. Trooper Birckhead tells NCL that neither of the two were wearing their seatbelts which contributed to the very tragic outcome. Kelly Ragland is in the hospital with serious injuries.
Almost all of us here in Nelson know the Drumheller families. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers over the next several days. They are wonderful people and as you can imagine this is terrible for any family to go through.
