Crash reported on 400 block of S. Main St. [FREDERICKSBURG, VA]
A crash reported on the 400 block of S. Main St. early Thursday evening has slowed traffic and put emergency crews on alert. According to witnesses, the collision occurred shortly after 5:00 p.m., sending at least two vehicles into the roadway’s shoulder after a sudden impact. Passersby reported hearing the sound of crunching metal and saw smoke rising from one of the cars involved.
Emergency responders arrived within minutes, providing on-scene medical aid to the drivers and passengers before transporting them to local hospitals for further evaluation. Although no fatalities have been confirmed, at least three individuals sustained injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to more serious whiplash and potential fractures. Investigators from the Culpeper Police Department cordoned off the area for several hours, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to determine fault and reconstruct the events leading up to the crash.
Weather conditions were clear then, and road surfaces appeared dry, leading authorities to consider factors such as speed, driver distraction, or mechanical failure. The exact cause remains under review, and officials encourage anyone with video footage or additional information to come forward. Traffic delays persisted well into the evening as tow trucks removed damaged vehicles and crews cleared debris, reopening the road shortly before 9:00 p.m.
