Serious Crash Occurs on Jefferson Avenue in Newport News | Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

What Happened:

A serious accident involving an SUV and pickup truck occurred at the intersection of Jefferson Boulevard and Turnberry Boulevard in Newport News, Virginia (VA).

Reports indicate that the driver of a Ford Ranger pickup truck was stopped at a red light and was hit by a Toyota SUV entering the intersection making a turn from Turnberry Boulevard to Jefferson, according to WAVY.com.

The wreck was so severe that the pickup truck flipped on its side and the driver had to be extracted from the vehicle.

The Virginia Injury Lawyer’s Perspective:

The pickup truck driver, or a member of their family, should speak to a Newport News personal injury lawyer to discuss their legal options. The reports have not described the extent of the driver’s injuries, but it would not be surprising if their injuries are extensive given the need to be extracted from the pickup truck.
