Drag racer Sean Serra was a passenger in a car that crashed Wednesday night. He was ejected from the car.
An official cause of death has not been announced yet. He was 27.
“From being there in the beginning of your love story with Winner’s Circle pics at Richmond Dragway to making impromptu road trips to whatever racetrack we needed to for the weekend to be there in person so you could show your support,” Laura Ann Bailey said in a Facebook post. “I watched you two firsthand become a power couple in your racing, and in life. My heart truly breaks for you Allison Lloyd with the loss of Sean Serra. I certainly was not prepared for that phone call this morning, as I don’t think any of us ever are. I wish I could find the words to make things better or easier, but I know right now there truly are none, only prayers for peace and healing in the days, months, and years to come, not just for Allison, but for Jeff Serra, and the rest of Sean’s family.
“Please also keep Matt Edwards in those prayers as he fights for his life from the accident that has already taken Sean from us far too soon.”
The accident is under investigation, according to the Hanover (Virginia) Sheriff’s Office. A 2006 BMW left its lane and traveled into the southbound lane, according to police.
The car then came back to the northbound lane. The car traveled off the roadway and the momentum of the vehicle caused it to flip after hitting an embankment.
The police said that the driver and passenger were ejected from the car, according to NBC 12.
