Series of accidents claim 4 lives in Suffolk and Virginia Beach

A series of fatal accidents in Suffolk and Virginia Beach have taken the lives of four people and injured one other in mid-August.

A Sunday afternoon head-on crash between a pick-up truck and a sedan happened on Indian Trailroad near the intersection with Deerpath Road.  Two people were killed in the collision and another person had to be taken to the hospital with critical injuries.

Police were unclear what caused the head-on crash, and it is not yet known if drugs, speed, or alcohol were factors.  The two men, Shane Blair, 18, and Thomas Ashburn, 28, both of Suffolk, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

The third victim was flown to Sentara Norfolk Hospital and was listed in critical condition.  Police were not able to specify which victim was riding in which vehicle.

There were also two separate motorcycle accidents in Virginia Beach that claimed the lives of two men.  The first victim, Scott Neill, 40, of Virginia Beach, lost control of his Harley Davidson motorcycle on Daimler Drive and crashed into a utility pole.

Neill was taken to Virginia Beach General Hospital after the being thrown from his motorcycle in the crash.  According to police he was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident but did not survive and died at the hospital.

Another man, George Watts, 39, was killed when he struck a BMW 750 with his Suzuki Boulevard motorcycle.  Watts was also wearing his helmet and was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
