Accident Closes Entire Sandbridge Road Corridor in Virginia Beach

According to police reports, an Accident Closed the Entire Sandbridge Road Corridor in Virginia Beach Wednesday night, halting traffic between Flanagans Lane and Banks Lane. The two‐lane stretch remains blocked as first responders work to secure the scene and assess damages. Motorists should seek alternate routes as cleanup and investigations continue into the early hours.

Virginia Beach Police have confirmed that public safety teams, including traffic units, fire crews, and emergency medical personnel, actively manage the incident site. At this stage, there is no clear timeline for reopening the roadway, as debris removal and a thorough safety inspection are required before lifting the closure. Officers are also directing vehicles away from the area to prevent secondary collisions and ensure the safety of all involved.

In addition to the vehicular crash, PulsePoint has reported live wires down on Sandbridge Road’s 1200 block, presenting an electrical hazard to drivers and pedestrians. Dominion Energy has acknowledged the outage, which affects approximately 629 homes and businesses in the vicinity. Crews are working under challenging conditions to repair damaged lines and restore service, with an estimated power restoration window between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Thursday.

This collision may have profound implications for those involved and nearby residents. Beyond immediate injuries, victims could face substantial financial burdens, including mounting medical bills, lost wages during recovery, and property damage estimates. Moreover, the emotional toll—stemming from pain, suffering, and anxiety about ongoing rehabilitation—cannot be underestimated. Under Virginia law, injured parties may seek compensation for economic losses (such as hospital expenses, physical therapy, and vehicle repairs) and non-economic damages (including emotional distress and diminished quality of life).
