WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (WAVY) — The president and CEO of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has been charged with reckless driving after a crash last year that left a William & Mary student seriously hurt.

“After a thorough review of all of the facts and circumstances” in the case, Williamsburg-James City County Commonwealth’s Attorney Nate Green said he asked Virginia State Police to issue a summons charging Cliff Fleet III with reckless driving.

Virginia State Police confirmed in an update on Thursday that Fleet had been charged with one count of reckless driving.

Fleet was charged under Virginia code 46.2-852, which lists reckless driving as a class 1 misdemeanor. That carries a potential of up to 12 months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.

The crash happened back on October 26, 2023, around 8:15 a.m. on Richmond Road at the William & Mary campus. The victim, William & Mary student Rosemary Raynal, was initially flown to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Raynal suffered brain trauma and other significant injuries, and faces a long road to recovery back home in North Carolina, William & Mary announced.
