Multiple Injuries Sustained in Sherwood Avenue Collision [Richmond, VA]
Multiple Injuries Sustained in Sherwood Avenue Collision when several vehicles collided in the early hours of June 8, leaving multiple individuals hurt and prompting a swift response from emergency personnel. The crash occurred at approximately 2:00 a.m. on the 1500 block of Sherwood Avenue, just south of the Diamond sports complex. Witnesses reported a loud impact followed by flashing lights as paramedics and firefighters arrived on scene within minutes.
According to initial reports, at least three cars were involved in the pileup, although the number may change as the Richmond Police Department’s investigation unfolds. Paramedics provided on-site emergency care, stabilizing the injured parties before transporting them to nearby hospitals for further evaluation and treatment.
Eyewitnesses describe a chaotic scene of crumpled metal and shattered glass, with debris scattered across both lanes. Traffic was diverted for several hours while crews worked to clear the roadway, repair guardrails, and allow Virginia State Police investigators to document the scene.
As of now, officials have not released the names or conditions of those hurt, but they have confirmed that no fatalities occurred. Authorities continue to interview drivers and passengers, collect surveillance footage from nearby businesses, and reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the collision. Motorists were advised to avoid Sherwood Avenue between 1st and 3rd streets and seek alternate routes to minimize delays. Commuters can expect intermittent lane closures over the next few days as cleanup efforts wrap up.
