Tractor-Trailer Crash on I-95 in Prince George County Kills Two
A tractor-trailer crash on I-95 in Prince George County has claimed the lives of two individuals, according to the Virginia State Police (VSP). The tragic accident, which occurred near Gravelbrook Road, involved a collision between a Volkswagen and a tractor-trailer, resulting in multiple casualties and serious injuries.
Deadly Collision on I-95
Authorities report that the crash took place near mile-marker 45.2, close to the South Crater exit. Preliminary investigations suggest that the Volkswagen veered off the road, struck a tree, and overturned. Tragically, both occupants inside the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene.
Emergency responders rushed to assist the victims. One individual was airlifted via Med-Flight to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, while two others were transported by ambulance with severe injuries. The driver of the tractor-trailer was unharmed in the crash.
Following the accident, all southbound lanes of Interstate 95 were shut down as law enforcement and rescue teams worked to clear the scene. The Virginia State Police, in coordination with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), are actively investigating the cause of the crash and setting up alternate traffic routes.
Compensation for Victims and Their Families
In accidents involving commercial trucks, victims and their families may be entitled to significant compensation. When a crash results in fatalities or severe injuries, compensation can cover:
- Medical expenses for hospitalization, surgeries, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages for injured victims unable to work
- Pain and suffering due to emotional and physical trauma
- Funeral and burial costs for families who have lost loved ones
- Wrongful death claims, which can provide financial support for dependents left behind
Determining liability in truck accidents can be complex, especially when multiple factors—such as driver negligence, vehicle malfunctions, or hazardous road conditions—are involved. This is why legal representation is crucial for victims seeking justice.
