Intersection Crashes in Virginia
Tuesday’s crash at Glenrock Rd and East Virginia Beach Blvd reflects a growing concern in urban areas throughout Virginia—intersection collisions that occur during high-volume hours. These crashes are not only disruptive but also potentially dangerous, especially when they involve multiple vehicles or result in injuries requiring EMS response.
The Glenrock–E Virginia Beach corridor is a known traffic hotspot in Norfolk, intersecting key commuter routes and retail access points. Accidents in this zone are often linked to drivers failing to yield, running lights, or making improper turns during peak congestion. When these collisions happen around 5:00 p.m.—as in this case—they’re more likely to involve distracted or fatigued drivers trying to navigate stop-and-go traffic.
Injuries from intersection crashes can range from minor to life-threatening, and early EMS involvement plays a critical role in mitigating long-term effects. Even if injuries appear minor at the time, individuals involved should seek a complete medical evaluation to rule out internal trauma or delayed-onset symptoms.
Crashes at busy Norfolk intersections also highlight the importance of updated traffic control measures. Improved signal timing, clearer lane markings, and public awareness campaigns can help reduce the frequency of these types of accidents.
