Richmond, VA (April 12, 2025) – Late in the evening, a serious crash brought emergency responders to a busy Richmond intersection. The collision, which occurred shortly after 11:00 p.m. on April 9, involved at least one vehicle and resulted in injuries. Authorities rushed to the scene, where traffic was quickly blocked off as medics assisted those hurt.
The crash happened at the intersection of Parkwood Ave and S Robinson St in Richmond, Virginia. Although police have not confirmed the total number of victims, it has been reported that at least one person was injured. That individual was taken to a nearby hospital for further medical attention. The intersection remained closed for a period as first responders worked to investigate and clear the area. Police have yet to release further details about the cause or if any citations have been issued.
We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
Car Accidents in Virginia
Motor vehicle crashes are an ongoing issue across Virginia. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles reported over 122,000 traffic crashes in 2022 alone. These incidents led to more than 59,000 injuries and tragically claimed 1,005 lives. Many of these collisions occurred in densely populated urban areas, where busy intersections and fast-moving traffic increase the risk of serious injury.
Accidents like this one often raise several questions for those involved. Here are some important things to consider after being hurt in a crash:
- Medical Costs Can Add Up Quickly: Even a brief hospital visit can lead to thousands in medical expenses. Injuries that require surgery or ongoing treatment can financially overwhelm victims. That’s why pursuing compensation is critical after any crash involving injury.
- Injuries Aren’t Always Obvious Right Away: Symptoms like whiplash, internal injuries, or concussions may not appear until hours or days later. It’s important to get checked out by a doctor—even if you feel okay immediately after the crash.
- Insurance Companies May Not Offer Enough: Initial settlement offers often fall short of covering the full cost of injuries, lost wages, and future care. Having someone who understands how to evaluate the real impact of your injuries can be a game changer.
- There Are Strict Deadlines to File a Claim: Virginia law limits how long you have to take legal action. If too much time passes, you could lose the right to seek financial recovery—even if the other driver was clearly at fault.
