A Ford Explorer SUV crashed into a retaining wall on Interstate 264 in Virginia Beach during early morning hours, and the story that emerged after the crash had police perplexed.
According to the three teenage male occupants of the SUV, an unknown driver pulled up alongside their SUV and opened fire. The gunshots hit the front passenger in the face. The teens claimed that they had recently left the Hartz Café the Haygood Shopping Center.
After the shots were fired, the teens claimed that they were heading west on I-264 when they decided to turn around to go to the hospital. While attempting to return to the highway at a fast speed driver lost control of the SUV. As a result, the SUV traveled across all lanes of traffic and crashed into a retaining wall.
The force of the impact caused the Ford to rollover. After the crash the front passenger with the gunshot wounds and the backseat passenger injured in the accident were taken to Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital. Both victims are in stable conditions.
While investigating the incident, police noted inconsistencies in the teens’ story. Police also found evidence of shots being fired in the parking lot of the club and the intersection of Independence Boulevard and Pembroke Lake Circle. The incident is still under investigation.
