Mechanicsville, VA (September 10, 2025) – Emergency crews from Hanover County Fire and EMS responded early Wednesday morning to a multi-vehicle crash near the intersection of Tammy Ln and Creighton Rd that left one person with an arm injury and prompted concerns due to a noticeable smell of smoke at the scene.
The incident occurred just after 9:15 a.m. and was initially reported through an automated crash notification system. Shortly after, responders made contact with a victim who reported pain in their arm and noted the odor of smoke in the aftermath of the collision. Multiple vehicles were involved in what authorities confirmed to be a rear-end chain reaction crash.
Engine 417 and accompanying units arrived on scene quickly and confirmed that all involved individuals had exited their vehicles safely. One person was evaluated on-site by paramedics for an arm injury. Fire crews also ensured that the presence of smoke did not indicate a fire hazard, and the situation was brought under control by approximately 9:29 a.m.
No further injuries were reported at the time, and emergency personnel worked to clear the scene and restore traffic flow. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
We extend our thoughts to the injured individual and wish them a full and speedy recovery.
