Officer Ellsworth Moore was killed in a motorcycle accident while attempting to stop a speeding vehicle on the Richmond-Washington Highway, just south of the city limits.
As he attempted to pass the speeding car to wave it over, he collided with an oncoming car, causing him to suffer severe injuries. He was transported to Mary Washington Hospital where he succumbed to the injuries.
Officer Moore was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Fredericksburg Police Department for nine months. He was survived by his wife and three children. He is buried in Fredericksburg National Cemetery.
