Dui Crash Roanoke Virginia in Roanoke, Virginia: Christopher King, a back-seat passenger in a convertible, was killed on July 4, 2020, when the vehicle went airborne and landed on its side. The driver was impaired, speeding, and on probation, and failed to stop when told to do so before striking a ditch, which ejected King. Everyone else in the vehicle was wearing a seat belt and survived. The incident prompted Virginia's expanded seat belt law, which took effect July 1, 2025, requiring all vehicle occupants to buckle up.
