Collision closes Seays Rd at Mastin Ln. [FREDERICKSBURG, VA]

A serious collision closes Seays Rd at Mastin Ln in both directions Tuesday afternoon, forcing drivers onto alternative routes while emergency crews respond to the scene. The accident, which occurred just before 4:00 p.m., involved two passenger vehicles and resulted in moderate to severe injuries for at least three individuals. Traffic was diverted onto nearby side streets, with motorists advised to follow posted detour signs until the roadway reopens.

First responders from the Culpeper County Fire & Rescue and local law enforcement arrived within minutes of the 911 call. Paramedics provided on-scene medical assessments before transporting two drivers and one passenger to Culpeper Regional Hospital. Witnesses reported that one vehicle crossed the centerline and struck the other head-on, though investigators are still reconstructing the sequence of events. Traffic investigators blocked off Seays Rd for several hours, collecting skid-mark measurements, photographing damage, and interviewing bystanders to determine the root cause.

Drivers approaching Mastin Ln were directed onto Mastin Lane, then routed east onto Bowling Road and south on Route 229 to bypass the crash site. Once crash investigators complete their work, towing services will clear mangled wreckage from the roadway, allowing Seays Rd to reopen. Officials urged drivers to exercise caution, reduce speed, and remain alert for emergency personnel working on the roadside.

For those hurt in this collision, the aftermath often extends far beyond physical recovery. Victims may face mounting medical expenses from emergency treatment, diagnostic tests, and ongoing rehabilitation. Lost wages can accumulate quickly if injuries prevent a return to work, while pain and suffering take an emotional and financial toll on families. In serious injury or potential negligence cases, compensation may include coverage for past and future medical bills, income loss, property damage, and non-economic damages such as emotional distress.
