Joshua Halstead, an 18-year-old from Warner, Virginia (Middlesex County) was hit and killed by a car outside Urbanna on November 2, 2007 in the midst of the town's popular oyster festival.
Joshua was walking home along Route 602 just east of route 684 at about 10 p.m. with his little brother and a friend when a Nissan Versa struck Josh from behind, police said. Joshua died at the scene, and the driver fled. The car was found abandoned near the scene shortly after the crash.
Shawna Lindy, 27, of Churchview, Virginia, turned herself into police 12+ hours later. On July 28, 2008, Lindy was convicted of felony hit and run. Circuit Judge William H. Shaw III sentenced Lindy to 10 years in prison, but suspended all but 18 months of it. He also ordered her to pay $3,156.61 in investigation and towing costs.
The Urbanna Oyster Festival, in its 50th year, drew about 75,000 people to the rural community on the Rappahannock River, according to the event's Web site.
Joshua graduated last spring as an honor student and had been accepted to Old Dominion University where he planned to begin classes on January 14, 2008. "He was really loved, and he's got a lot of friends," Donna Dunlevy said of her oldest son. "He had many, many talents."
Halstead's death spread quickly at Middlesex High School, where he'd been a popular and respected student, his former principal said. "I can't remember anybody ever — student or teacher — having anything bad to say about Josh," Middlesex High Principal Chris Valdrighi said. "He was just a good kid to have in the building."

This is a very touching video and this young man, who I didn't know, has touched me from across the country. Hi is being missed, clearly, but God has incredible plans that we cannot ever understand. May the Lord provide Joshua's family with an enormous amount of peace and comfort that transcends all sorrow.
