A Hopewell teen died from injuries in a one-vehicle crash on Route 5 in Charles City County on Wednesday.

Justin Paul Dorriety, 19, of Hopewell, was traveling west on Route 5/John Tyler Memorial Highway at 7:40 a.m. Wednesday when his vehicle ran off the road to the right, struck trees and a culvert, before overturning and striking more trees, eventually coming to rest on its roof.

Dorriety, who was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the Virginia State Police report on the accident, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
