Colin Sutton Obituary, Death: A man tragically passed away following a crash in Virginia Beach a few weeks ago. The incident occurred on November 14 at around 3:40 p.m. when police responded to a call about a collision involving a bicyclist in the 5000 block of Indian River Road.
According to the preliminary investigation, the cyclist, identified as 49-year-old Colin Sutton of Virginia Beach, attempted to cross Indian River Road by exiting the sidewalk. Sutton failed to yield to oncoming traffic, and as a result, he was struck by a vehicle while crossing the road. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Sutton later succumbed to his injuries.
The driver of the vehicle involved in the crash was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Authorities have stated that no charges are expected to be filed in connection with the accident, though the investigation is still ongoing.

He urged the public to follow traffic signals, use designated crosswalks, and exercise extreme caution when crossing streets to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
