Single Vehicle Accident in Riva
On December 13th 2015, at approximately 7:21 pm, officers responded to a single vehicle crash on Riva Road near Riva Trace Pkwy in Riva. Investigation revealed that a gray Chevy Malibu was southbound on Riva Road when the driver drifted to the right edge of the roadway, jumped a curb and struck an electric pole, severing it and downing the wires. The driver was flown by police helicopter to Shock Trauma with critical, life threatening injuries.
