Norfolk, VA (September 24, 2025) – A 14-year-old pedestrian was injured after being struck by a vehicle early Wednesday morning at the intersection of S Main St and E Berkley Ave in Norfolk. The incident occurred just after 5:15 AM, prompting a rapid response from Norfolk Fire and EMS units, including Engine 8 and Medic 8.
Emergency personnel arrived to find the young teenager suffering from a leg laceration and road rash following the collision. The child was assessed on-site and received medical attention before being transported for further care. Authorities confirmed the crash occurred directly at the corner of S Main St and E Berkley Ave, an area with early commuter activity and heavy vehicle presence.
Responders worked to manage the scene while coordinating with Virginia State Police (VSP) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for traffic control. Lane adjustments were made to ensure the safety of responders and motorists as cleanup and investigations progressed.
