Greene County deputy killed in fiery crash Thursday

June 5, 2009 | Virginia News

News Image Investigator Chadwick A. "Chad" Carr, 31, tragically lost his life in a motor vehicle accident on the afternoon of Thursday, June 4, 2009. Investigator Carr, while on duty and in his assigned vehicle, ran off the right side of the road on Rt. 230, then re-entered the roadway where he then collided with a truck traveling toward Stanardsville. Investigator Carr died of his injuries at the scene.

The VACP requests that Virginia law enforcement officers shroud their badges through the day of memorial services for Investigator Carr – Friday, June 12.

Inv. Carr had been in law enforcement for 7 ½ years, first as an animal control officer, then as a field Deputy. Chad was an instructor and enjoyed teaching at the law enforcement academy. Chad’s favorite assignment had been that of a K-9 handler, even though he hadn’t had a dog for a while, that passion never ended. Chad received the Lifesaving award this year for saving a man’s life utilizing CPR and the AED.
Inv. Carr had recently been promoted into Investigations and assigned to the Blue Ridge Narcotics Task Force as a narcotics enforcement officer, a job that he truly enjoyed and excelled at.

Chad was the father of two young boys, ages 7 and 3. The thoughts and prayers of the Greene County Sheriff’s Office go out to them and Chad’s family. The Sheriff’s Office will be establishing a fund for the children.
Chad had a great love of law enforcement work and will be greatly missed by his fellow workers.
