8-year-old boy dies a week after two-vehicle crash in Richmond

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- An 8-year-old boy is dead a week after he was involved in a late-night crash in Richmond.

At about 10:38 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 7, officers with the Richmond Police Department were called to the intersection of Warwick and Hopkins roads for a report of a two-vehicle crash.

When they arrived, they found that neither of the two involved drivers -- a man and a woman -- had been injured in the crash. However, the man's two juvenile male passengers were both hurt. One of the boys had life-threatening injuries, while the other had non-life-threatening injuries.

Both boys were taken to a local hospital, where one of them -- now identified as an 8-year-old boy -- died a week later on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Police have not provided any additional information, such as the circumstances of the crash, as of the time of reporting.
