ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VA — A devastating head-on collision on Monday afternoon along Fox Mountain Road in Rockingham County has left a 22-year-old Elkton man dead and three others seriously injured. Virginia State Police (VSP) are investigating the crash, which occurred around 2:30 p.m. on July 14, 2025.

The incident involved a southbound 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt sedan and a northbound Chevrolet flatbed truck.
