A Henrico County man was killed Thursday and another person was injured in a two-car collision in which alcohol and speed were factors, according to police.

About 12:44 a.m., a Hyundai Sonata traveling east on Hermitage Road struck a Chevy Impala driven by James A. Simpson, 48, at the intersection with Gibraltar Drive. Simpson died at the scene.

Just before the crash, police said, a Henrico police officer observed the Sonata’s driver commit a traffic violation, but the officer was not able to stop the vehicle before the collision.

The driver of the Hyundai suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening and was taken to VCU Medical Center. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts.

No charges had been filed as of Friday afternoon. The crash remains under investigation.
