Charlottesville, VA (January 7, 2026) – A man sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to a hospital following a crash that resulted in him being ejected from a vehicle near Lee St in Charlottesville on Sunday evening.
The incident occurred at approximately 5:33 p.m. on January 4. Emergency medical crews responded to the scene and found an adult male who had been thrown from the vehicle during the crash. Upon arrival, the patient was initially unconscious and later became combative as responders worked to stabilize him.
