A family is mourning the loss of a beloved teenager who was struck and killed by a driver while walking home from work Sunday evening in Henrico County.
Nathaniel Clark, a 15-year-old sophomore at Hermitage High School, was crossing Staples Mill Road near Hungary Springs Road around 8 p.m. Sept. 8 when he was struck by a westbound car. Clark was crossing mid-block when he was killed, according to Henrico Police.
Clark’s mother said her son loved taking pictures and had recently started his first job at Firehouse Subs, near the crash site. He was working to earn money to purchase equipment for his new hobby.
"He wanted to save money to buy a new lens for his camera," his mother, Ashley Fisher, said. "He loved taking pictures of all the high school games, track meets, the basketball games. Even when he played basketball, he liked to stop and take pictures.”
Fisher said she was coming home from her job at a Bon Secours health facility on Sunday when she tried texting her son.
She grew worried when she didn’t hear back. She tried calling home and then stopped by his work to check on him.
