Stafford Deputy Reunites Lost, Elderly Driver With Family

STAFFORD COUNTY, VA—A deputy with the Stafford County Sheriff's Office recently helped a lost, elderly driver safely reunite with her family.

On Wednesday, at approximately 9:18 p.m., Deputy N.R. Stachurski was dispatched to an unknown problem near the intersection of Warrenton Road and Edison Lane. The only information provided was that an elderly driver was stopped in a turn lane and did not know where she was, deputies said.

According to the sheriff's office, good Samaritans had contacted the sheriff’s office and assisted in moving the vehicle to the shoulder of the road.

Deputy Stachurski learned that the elderly woman had stopped her car because she did not feel comfortable driving in the rain. She could not recall where she was coming from and did not know where she was going.

The deputy was able to obtain the phone number for the elderly driver’s daughter and made arrangements for her to pick up her mother.

Deputy Stachurski stayed with the elderly driver until the daughter was able to respond from Maryland and reunite with her mother.
