KING GEORGE, VA
A Virginia state trooper died in a car accident that injured two other people Friday night.
Investigators say the crash happened about 6:45 p.m. in the James Madison section of King George County, about 60 miles northeast of Richmond.

Investigators say the front end of the squad car then continued into a nearby parking lot, where it struck three parked cars before coming to a stop.
The trooper died on the scene. Police have not yet released his name. The driver and passenger in the other car were taken to Mary Washington Hospital with minor injuries.
