Virginia State Police tell us they’re looking for a Fredericksburg man who was taken a hospital this morning following a fatal crash.

The man survived the crash, but fled the hospital after the ambulance he was riding in arrived.

More from police:

The Virginia State Police is seeking the public’s assistance with locating a driver involved in a fatal crash Friday morning in Culpeper County.

Trooper J. Allen is investigating the two-vehicle crash that occurred November 15, 2019 at 12:20 a.m. on Route 522 (Sperryville Pike) a few hundred feet north of Route 641 (Gibson Mill Road).

A 2000 Ford Explorer was traveling north on Rte. 522 when the driver lost control, crossed the centerline into the southbound travel lane and collided head-on with a 2007 Saturn ION that was in the southbound turning lane.

The driver of the Ford, Earl J. Nicholson Jr., 38, of Fredericksburg, Va., suffered serious injuries and was transported from the scene. But, Nicholson was never admitted to the hospital. He walked away as soon as the ambulance he was riding in arrived at the local hospital.

The driver of the Saturn, Pamela J. Mozingo, 54, of Culpeper, Va., died at the scene. Mozingo was not wearing a seat-belt.

Two passengers in the Saturn, both adult males, were flown transported to UVA Medical Center for treatment of life-threatening injuries. Neither male was wearing a seatbelt.

Charges are pending and the crash remains under investigation.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Nicholson is encouraged to call Virginia State Police at #77 or 540-829-7766.

We’ll post more as we have it.
