Crash at N 28th St & Nine Mile Rd Injures Motorcyclist [Richmond, VA]

A crash at N 28th St & Nine Mile Rd injures motorcyclist in Richmond’s East End on Monday morning, leaving one person hurt and prompting an active police investigation. The collision occurred around 10:25 a.m. on October 27, when a motorcycle and a black four-door sedan collided at the busy intersection of North 28th Street and Nine Mile Road.

Emergency crews from Richmond Fire and EMS responded promptly, finding the damaged motorcycle lying near the intersection. Paramedics treated one injured individual at the scene and then transported them for further medical evaluation. Authorities have not yet released the victim’s name, and the severity of the injuries remains under review.

Police secured the area and worked to restore traffic flow while investigating the cause of the collision. Both vehicles remained on-site as investigators gathered evidence and cleared debris from the roadway. As of now, it is unclear whether any citations or charges have been issued, but the Richmond Police Department continues to examine the factors that led to this serious accident.

Motorcycle Accidents in Richmond

Motorcycle crashes like this one are unfortunately common across Richmond and Virginia. Riders face higher risks on the road due to their exposure and limited protection compared to car occupants. Even a low-speed impact can lead to catastrophic injuries, including fractures, internal trauma, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries.

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) reports that hundreds of motorcyclists are injured or killed on state roadways each year. Many of these accidents occur at intersections, often when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way, misjudge a motorcycle’s speed, or turn left in front of an oncoming rider. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and impairment are frequent contributors.

While wearing DOT-approved helmets and high-visibility gear can reduce risk, even the most cautious riders can fall victim to another driver’s negligence. When this happens, the consequences can be devastating—both physically and financially—for victims and their families.

Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims

Victims of motorcycle crashes may be entitled to compensation for a range of damages, including:
