WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – A New York man faces charges after a Suffolk man was killed Saturday morning in Williamsburg.

At approximately 9:30 a.m., Virginia State Police said Alan Smith, of Pittsford, New York, was on Jefferson Street when he attempted to turn left at the intersection of Capitol Landing Road, where a “No Left Turn” sign is posted.
