This Memorial Day weekend is shaping up to be less deadly than last year... but still... SIX people have lost their lives in Virginia this holiday weekend. That's compared with 12 who died in car accidents in 2000.
[ss=Fatal Accident]
One of those accidents claimed the life of a Brookneal man. Police say 42 year old Eric Bryant Yuille (Yule) was a passenger in a Ford Mustang that ran off the road around 2:30 this morning. The accident took place on Route 40 east of Brookneal. The car overturned after hitting a culvert and becoming airborne. The victim was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the car. The driver, William Yuille, was injured. Charges have yet to be filed.

((When Booker T Washington was a little boy...)) It's a growing problem, commerce expanding onto historical sites. The Booker T. Washington National Monument sits just a fraction of a mile away from Westlake Corner, one of Smith Mountain Lake's fastest growing areas. Monument officials say this sort of growth can attract more visitors, but can also hinder the educational aspects of the park. That's why they are trying to buy a 15 acre slice of land between the monument and what will eventually be businesses.

A Rockbridge County Sheriff's Captain says the 37-year old woman was last seen at a camp ground at Cave Mountain Lake Saturday night.
When family members woke up Sunday morning they realized she wasn't there.
Sheriff's deputies used dogs and a helicopter to search the area- and at this hour they've focused the search on the lake using a dive team.
The woman is described as five feet seven inches tall and weighs 190 pounds.
She has brown shoulder- length hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a gray sweatshirt with the word Marlboro on the front and a blue jean jacket.
