Police identify driver killed in single-vehicle crash on Chesapeake Boulevard in Norfolk

The driver has been identified as Christopher R. Selvy, 30, of Norfolk. Investigators believe speed was a contributing factor.

NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk Police identified the driver killed in a March 25 single-vehicle crash.

Police said Christopher R. Selvy, 30, of Norfolk, died in the wreck along the 8600 block of Chesapeake Boulevard. That's off of East Bayview Boulevard. 

Police were called to the scene around 12:15 a.m. Selvy was declared dead at the scene of the crash. 

Investigators believe speed was a contributing factor.  

One man, Mitch Banks, who lives along the road says he witnessed the whole thing when he got home around midnight.

"I heard an engine rev up like a race and when I looked up, I saw the car jump onto the median and full-speed plow into a tree," explained Banks. "It was loud like an explosion...it was pretty crazy." 

Banks says he sees cars speeding by and crashes happen along Chesapeake Boulevard all the time, which frustrates him for the safety of his family and neighbors.

"It's like one of the most unsafe roads I've lived on," said Banks. "Kids live on the main road, too, so you just got to be careful."
