RICHMOND, Va. – Police have arrested a Richmond teacher accused of driving drunk in a crash on the Southside that killed a 30-year-old man Friday night.
Officers were called to the 3000 block of Midlothian Turnpike for a two-vehicle crash just after 8:50 p.m.
Detectives said 26-year-old Anthoneya A. Hodges, of the 6900 block of Marlowe Road, was driving on Midlothian Turnpike when she ran a red light at the intersection of Broad Rock Boulevard.
That is when police said Hodges struck an SUV driven by 30-year-old Rakeem B. Bland of the 3800 block of Stockton Street.
