YORK COUNTY, Va. — A man is charged with reckless driving in connection with a two-vehicle wreck that left one woman dead.
The incident happened around 8:45 p.m. Thursday in the 1200 block of Goodwin Neck Road. That's east of Seaford Road.
Michael James Ramirez was driving a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and traveling westbound on Goodwin Neck Road when his car crossed the road double line and hit a 2019 Volkswagen Beetle head-on. The Beetle drove off the road and hit a tree.
The driver of the Beetle, Caroline Maria Wyatt Thompson, was seriously injured and taken to the hospital. The 43-year-old woman died from her injuries on Friday morning. She was a teacher at Tabb Elementary School.
A 10-year-old girl in the Beetle suffered injuries considered life-threatening. She was taken to Riverside Regional Hospital.
Ramirez, 38, is charged with reckless driving. More charges are pending based of a case review by the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.
