The crash occurred on Wednesday at 11:50 a.m. along Route 615 (Rapidan Road) just south of Route 700 (Trimmers Road).

A 2013 Ford Transit van was traveling south on Route 615 when it ran off the right side of the roadway and collided with a tree.

The driver of the Ford, David A. Carl, 82, of Orange, suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to UVA Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Carl was not wearing a seatbelt.

A medical emergency is being considered a factor in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
