Norfolk, VA – I-264 Auto Accident at Military Hwy Injures Victims

Written by: Virginia Beach Injury Law

Norfolk, VA (May 3, 2022) – Officers with the Norfolk Police Department responded to a crash that happened on Tuesday evening, May 3.

The multi-vehicle accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. on Interstate 264 near Exit 13 to Military Highway, according to rescuers on the scene. The circumstances surrounding the collision are unknown, though preliminary reports indicate that the eastbound lanes of the highway were shut down.

At least one person was taken to a local hospital by paramedics, but the extent of their injuries is unknown. It’s also unclear whether any other victims were hurt.

The highway was reopened about an hour after the wreck took place; however, officers say the investigation into the circumstances causing the collision is ongoing. Further details have not been provided at this time.

Our thoughts are with the victims who were injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.

Auto Accident Injuries in Virginia

According to recent reports released by the Virginia Highway Safety Office, almost 130,000 auto accidents led to more than 65,000 injuries and 830 deaths in 2019 alone. Even worse, across the Commonwealth of Virginia, close to 1,000 people are killed in car accidents annually. Sadly, another 65,000 individuals are seriously injured as a result of these crashes.

Victims of these incidents who sustain injuries tend to face a number of serious consequences, from exorbitant medical expenses to long-term medical issues and beyond.

All too often, these victims require treatment and ongoing therapy that could last for months or even years. As a result, victims may pay tens of thousands of dollars out of their own pockets or deal with stressful negotiations with insurance companies to get their fair share. Tragically, in the case that victims succumb to their injuries, their mourning family members are left to pick up the pieces

Thankfully, you may have legal recourse after you’ve suffered at the hands of a negligent driver.
