Woman Charged After Causing Three-Vehicle Interstate Wreck in Fredericksburg, VA

By Rick Shapiro, VA Injury Attorney

What Happened:

A young woman from Fredericksburg, VA was charged with reckless driving after causing a three-vehicle accident that shut down I-95 for several hours.

The accident, which happened during the morning rush hour near Massaponax, began when the young woman was driving south on I-95 in the farthest left lane. Virginia State Police say that she then lost control of her Honda Civic.

The woman’s Honda swerved to the right and collided with a Ford Explorer in the center lane of the interstate before running into a tractor-trailer driving in the far right lane. The Honda then veered left and crashed into a guardrail while the Ford Explorer overturned.

The driver of the Honda and the drivers of the other vehicles were all taken to the Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center for treatment. Thanks to seatbelts, none of the injuries were life-threatening.

So far, VA troopers say they believe driver inattention is the cause of the terrible accident.

The Virginia Injury Attorney’s Perspective:

As Virginia personal injury attorneys, our firm has represented many innocent victims who have been hit by distracted, drunk, impatient or, as in this case, inattentive drivers. The victims of this morning’s collision should contact an experienced VA attorney for advice on how to best ensure that the driver of the Honda Civic is held responsible for her actions.
