Brian T. Hall, 32, of Belle Haven, was killed after the motorcycle he was driving hit a Chevrolet Caprice car while Hall was traveling toward Pungoteague. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash happened around 2 p.m., said State Police Trooper J.N. Godwin.
The owner of the Chevrolet, 58-year-old Jean Belote LeCato, was hit as she was turning into the driveway of her home.
Units and personnel from Melfa and Painter responded to the accident.
LeCato was taken to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital to be treated for minor injuries. She was released the same day.
Police officials continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
Hall had been a deputy with the Eastern Shore Regional Jail for three and a half years.
Roger Kennedy, administrator for the jail, said Hall had a cheerful attitude that co-workers found endearing.
“He always had a smile and a good positive attitude,” Kennedy said. “I think pretty much everybody (at the jail) liked him.”
Kennedy said employees at the jail have been affected by the recent loss of Hall.
“It’s been real emotional for everybody up here. It’s bothered a lot of people,” said Kennedy.
“He was a very good employee,” said Northampton Sheriff’s Office Major David Doughty.
Memorial services for Hall will be held at First Baptist Church near Capeville on July 10 at 11 a.m.
