Deputy In

While responding to a call in Washington Monday evening, Deputy Connie Compton of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department wrecked a car.

She was going around the curve near the Exxon station in Sperryville, heading toward Washington.

According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, Ms. Compton’s car probably hydroplaned due to the heavy rain, and that caused the accident.1 He said that she lost control of the car in front of the Exxon station, did a 180 degree turn, and slid off the left hand side of the road into the culvert. She was not injured, and the car sustained about $500 damage to the passenger’s door and fender, he said.
