Injuries in Multi-Vehicle Crash at Cary & 19th [Richmond, VA]

Injuries in Multi-Vehicle Crash at Cary & 19th were reported late Friday night, October 3, after several vehicles collided near the busy intersection of Cary Street and 19th Street in Richmond. Among the vehicles involved was a pickup truck that sustained extensive damage and burst into flames shortly after the crash, sending plumes of smoke into the air.

Emergency crews from Richmond Police and Fire Departments responded swiftly to the scene, working to extinguish the blaze and provide aid to those injured. Firefighters managed to put out the engine fire within minutes, preventing it from spreading to nearby vehicles or structures. According to authorities, several vehicles suffered significant damage, and parts of the intersection were temporarily closed to allow first responders to secure the area.

When emergency personnel arrived, the pickup truck was found heavily damaged and unoccupied. Investigators are still trying to determine whether the driver fled the scene or was assisted before help arrived. Richmond Police have not yet released details about the number of people injured or whether anyone was transported to a hospital. Crews cleared the wreckage and reopened the roadway after ensuring it was safe for traffic.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, though preliminary findings suggest that excessive speed or driver distraction could have been contributing factors. Authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward to help piece together the events that led to the fiery collision.
