Burlie W Duvall III

Deputy Sheriff Burlie Duvall was killed at a crash scene on Route 460 west of Cabin Field Road in Campbell County around 5:33 p.m.

Deputy Duvall and another deputy were traveling from the Central Virginia Criminal Justice Academy when they approached a crash. They activated their emergency lights and parked in the left lanes to help at the scene. A tractor-trailer swerved to avoid the emergency vehicles and struck Deputy Duvall. Deputy Duvall died at the scene.

Seven additional people were transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Deputy Duvall served with the Appomattox County Sheriff's Office.

I’m saddened to learn of your tragic loss. I wish to thank you for your service to the people of Appomattox County. I will pray for your family, friends, loved ones and colleagues. Rest in peace.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Matthew 5:9:
