A three-vehicle accident at the intersection of South Boston Road and Mountain Hill Road in Danville, Virginia (VA), landed two people in the hospital. The driver of a Dodge Stratus ran into the back end of a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, sending the truck into the median. Next, the Stratus rear-ended a Chevy Malibu.
The driver and passenger in the Malibu suffered injuries, and police charged the driver of the Stratus with failure to maintain proper control of her vehicle.
