Authorities are seeking the public’s help in locating a car and driver involved in a fatal Halloween night crash in Middlesex County.
The car is believed to have run over a woman that a deer knocked off a 2011 Honda Moped that was traveling westbound on Old Virginia Street (Route 602), according to Virginia State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya. The woman, Lorraine Labounty-Siecker, 72, of Crossville, Tenn., died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash.

After the couple was thrown from the Moped after being struck by the deer, an unknown vehicle, traveling eastbound, struck Labounty-Siecker, and continued traveling eastbound on Route 602 in the direction/area of Burrells Marina Road.
