Arnet Harriston Wood lived in Stuarts Draft all his later years. Friends knew him as a steady guy who liked his three-wheeler. On Sunday night that ride ended hard.
Virginia State Police say the crash happened about 8:55 p.m. on Flat Rock Road in Augusta County. The spot sits a quarter-mile southeast of Shady Acres Lane. Wood, 62, was on his 2006 Boss Tryke when it left the left side of the road.
The tryke hit a tree and flipped. Troopers found him dead right there. No other cars were involved. His family got the call soon after.
Cops still dig into what made the tryke leave the pavement. Night driving on that stretch can get tricky. The road has its share of curves and dark spots.
Wood was 62. That age means years of work, family dinners, and quiet evenings. Those pieces stay with the people who knew him.
Folks in Stuarts Draft and nearby towns feel the hole. A single-vehicle wreck like this hits close. One wrong moment on a familiar road and everything stops.
Police keep looking at the scene. They want clear answers for the family. Until then the facts stand as they are. Arnet Wood died on that Virginia road Sunday night.
