Multi-Car Collisions and Early Morning Crash Risks in Virginia
Crashes involving two or more vehicles—such as Thursday morning’s incident on South Military Highway—can happen in an instant and still result in injury, even when vehicle damage appears minor. In this case, the collision occurred before dawn, a time when reduced visibility, low driver alertness, and limited traffic presence can create dangerous conditions.
South Military Highway runs through both commercial and industrial zones in Chesapeake, and drivers frequently use it as a connector to major routes like I-64 and Route 17. Accidents along this corridor often involve lane changes, merging, or speeding—especially when the road appears clear in early morning hours.
The presence of minor damage doesn’t always indicate that the people inside escaped unharmed. Injuries such as neck strain, concussions, or joint trauma are common in multi-car crashes and may not fully surface until hours or days after the initial impact. That’s why immediate medical attention—even for seemingly small symptoms—is so important.
Post-crash evaluations also play a key role in ensuring that victims have proper documentation for any insurance claims or legal proceedings. With multiple vehicles involved, liability can become complex, making early investigation and witness accounts essential.
If you’ve been hurt in a crash involving more than one vehicle, don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. Get evaluated and understand your rights to medical care and recovery support.
