Richmond, VA (May 13, 2025) – Emergency responders were called to a vehicle collision resulting in injuries early Tuesday afternoon in the Church Hill area of Richmond. The crash occurred at approximately 1:44 p.m. at the intersection of Creighton Rd and Nine Mile Rd, a busy crossroad serving both residential and commuter traffic.
Paramedics and Richmond Fire personnel arrived on the scene and provided medical aid to those injured. While officials have not released the number of individuals involved, responders confirmed that at least one person sustained injuries requiring on-site treatment and possible hospital transport.
The collision led to temporary lane closures and slowdowns in the area as crews worked to assist victims and clear the roadway. The intersection, which connects several East End neighborhoods, is known for high traffic volumes and complex turn lanes that can increase collision risk.

We extend our thoughts to those affected and wish them a full and swift recovery.
Intersection Collisions in Virginia
Accidents like the one at Creighton Rd and Nine Mile Rd highlight the risks associated with high-traffic intersections, particularly in urban areas like Church Hill. In these settings, collisions are frequently caused by failure to yield, improper turns, or distracted driving. According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, intersection-related crashes consistently make up a significant portion of injury-causing accidents each year.
Injury victims from intersection crashes often experience a range of physical impacts—from neck and back strain to fractures or internal injuries. Even when these incidents appear moderate at first, it is essential for those involved to seek immediate medical care and to follow through with all recommended evaluations.
In communities like Richmond’s East End, local leaders have called for safer intersection design, clearer signage, and expanded public awareness about right-of-way laws. Until such improvements are fully realized, both drivers and pedestrians must remain alert and cautious when navigating congested junctions.
Accidents can leave victims not only physically hurt but also uncertain about their next steps. From insurance disputes to financial burdens, post-collision recovery is often overwhelming without support.
