On January 23, 2024, state police investigated a single vehicle crash on Low Ground Road, south of Little Low Ground Road, Greensville County.

The crash investigation revealed that the driver of a 2005 Chevrolet Impala, 80 year-old Merle Marie Thorpe, was traveling southbound on Low Ground Road, when she crossed over into the northbound lanes of travel, and ran off the roadway. Once the vehicle ran off the road, it struck a tree stump and overturned, entrapping Thorpe.

Thorpe, the sole occupant of the vehicle, suffered serious life threatening injuries and was taken to Southern Virginia Regional Medical Center in Emporia. Thorpe was later flown to Chippenham Hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.
