Newport News, VA (September 12, 2025) – A collision resulting in injuries occurred Thursday afternoon near the intersection of Industrial Park Drive and Shields Road in Newport News. Emergency medical services and fire units were dispatched around 1:22 PM following reports of a crash involving two vehicles—a blue Chevrolet and a green Mazda.
Crews from Newport News Fire responded swiftly alongside local police, arriving to find multiple individuals in need of care. While the extent of the injuries has not been officially detailed, medics on the scene rendered aid to those hurt in the crash. The vehicles involved sustained noticeable damage, and the intersection remained partially blocked as responders worked to secure the area and assess all parties.
