Intersection Accidents in Virginia
Accidents like the one on Elbow Rd and Roundtail Dr are unfortunately all too common in Virginia Beach, particularly in areas that combine rural speed zones with residential access points. While this section of Elbow Rd provides a necessary link between local neighborhoods and arterial routes, it has become known for dangerous turns and limited sightlines, especially near intersections such as Roundtail Dr.
Saturday’s crash, which led to confirmed injuries, is a strong reminder of the risks that come with even routine afternoon driving. Drivers often underestimate the dangers posed by familiar roads—especially when they fail to adjust for weather, traffic conditions, or other road users. In areas like this, where residential driveways and through traffic coexist, a moment’s distraction can result in lasting consequences.
Victims of intersection crashes often suffer from injuries that may not seem serious at first but can worsen over time. Immediate evaluation by EMS and follow-up care are essential, both for recovery and for creating proper documentation in the event that medical or legal action becomes necessary.
