Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - A Richmond Police cruiser and two vehicles were involved in a crash at Laburnum Avenue and Chamberlayne Friday night. One civilian and one officer were injured. The notice of the crash came just after Richmond Police had released a statement on another crash earlier this month, in which two people were killed.

The injuries in the latest crash were non-life-threatening, and the crash is under investigation. With the fatal crash, Chief Gerald Smith said, "The Richmond Police Department extends its thoughts and prayers to the families of Jeremiah Ruffin and Tracey Williams. No one wants to lose a child, so at this time we ask that our Richmond community continue to pray for and comfort the Hill, Ruffin and Williams families with us as they continue deal with the loss of their loved ones.


As I stated when the accident occurred, we will follow wherever the investigation leads us. We want our community to know we are entering the final stages of the investigation surrounding the circumstances and causes of the tragic fatal collision that occurred on April 7. Once concluded, the full investigation will be turned over to the Commonwealth Attorney for review and next steps.

Again, we are saddened by the loss of life and will continue to do what we can as an agency to support these grieving families." The fatal crash happened April 7th.
