Suffolk, VA (December 12, 2023) – A crash involving a commercial vehicle left two people injured in the full folk area on Monday afternoon, December 11. The Suffolk Fire & Rescue and the Suffolk Police Department responded to the scene of the accident at approximately 205 p.m.
According to official reports, a work truck was involved in a collision on the southbound side of Interstate 664. As a result of the collision, two people became trapped inside the vehicle as it came to rest near Exit 9, just south of College Drive. The victims had to be extricated by firefighters. One of the victims was severely injured in the crash. The second victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Both of the injured victims were transported to area hospitals for emergency care. At this time, the incident is being investigated.
We hope the two people hurt due to this truck crash recover quickly.
In Virginia, truck accidents have a significant impact on individuals, with many suffering severe injuries such as spinal cord fractures and broken bones, often requiring immediate medical care. The size and weight of these vehicles make it more likely that people involved in accidents with them will suffer severe injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, trauma to the head, and even internal organ injuries. These injuries can impact the lives of victims forever.
Following a truck accident, it is possible to pursue legal action against the liable party. In many cases, personal injury claims surrounding these types of collisions can involve more than one responsible party. If the driver's negligence played a role in the accident, they may be held accountable. Furthermore, if the driver was working for a company and their negligence was known by the company, they could also face liability. Similarly, if the faulty cargo caused the accident, the cargo company may also carry responsibility.
