GLOUCESTER, Va. (AP) - A 90-year-old man has been charged in a crash that injured a Virginia state trooper.

Sgt. Michelle Anaya with Virginia State Police said in a statement that a vehicle driven by Phillip W. Hamilton Jr. failed to yield the right of way while exiting a shopping center on Tuesday, and struck the trooper’s vehicle on the passenger side.

The unidentified trooper was treated for minor, non-life-threatening injuries at a hospital and released.



Hamilton wasn’t injured and has been charged with failure to yield right of way. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.
