Richmond, VA (January 7, 2026) – A personal injury collision occurred Tuesday evening along the 4800 block of Richmond Hwy, leaving multiple individuals hurt and drawing a significant emergency response from local authorities.
The crash was reported at approximately 6:30 p.m., prompting Richmond Police Department (RPD) officers and medical personnel to respond swiftly to the scene. Those involved were assessed for a variety of injuries, with several victims receiving treatment on-site while others may have been transported for further evaluation.
