Christopher G. Davis, 27, of Afton, died at the scene of the March 16 crash, which was reported at 12:34 a.m., according to Virginia State Police.

Davis was a passenger in a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix that was traveling north on Route 151 north of Chapel Hollow Road when the vehicle ran off the right side of the road and struck a tree.

The driver, Julian W. Warner, 19, of Faber, was transported for treatment of serious injuries.
