When a Bus and Van Crash in Virginia, Nobody Wins

A recent accident in Dinwiddie County involved only two vehicles, yet 13 people were injured. The reason for the high number of injuries was due to the fact that the crash, which occurred on Virginia's I-85 near the Squirrel Level Road Exit, involved a bus and a van.

According to reports from the Virginia State Police, the driver of a large Ford E-350 van, in order to try to avoid slowing traffic, moved out of the left lane and into the right. When the driver made this move she struck a Greyhound bus, causing multiple injuries.

The bus, on its way from Raleigh, N.C. to Richmond, Va., was carrying 35 passengers. Three of these passengers were injured and taken to Southside Regional Medical Center. In the van, at least nine passengers and the driver were injured. At the time of this report there were no updates as to the condition of the injured. Initial reports indicated that all injuries were minor.

Accidents involving large vehicles, such as a bus, semi truck or 18-wheeler, too often cause multiple serious injuries. The attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Tavss Fletcher were heartened to hear that no serious injuries or deaths were caused by this accident. We hope that all of the injured parties are on their way to recovering fully from their injuries.
