Crash on Sandbridge Road Halts Traffic in Virginia Beach [Virginia Beach, VA]

A Sandbridge Road crash halted Virginia Beach traffic, causing a complete road closure and significant delays Monday night. The accident involving two vehicles prompted an immediate response from the Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD), emergency medical services, and air transport teams.

According to VBPD, officers received a distress call around 6:57 p.m. regarding a severe collision in the 800 block of Sandbridge Road. Upon arrival, they found one person in critical condition. Due to the severity of the injuries, the victim was airlifted via Nightingale to a nearby hospital for urgent medical care.

Road Closures and Traffic Disruptions

Following the crash, law enforcement shut down Sandbridge Road between New Bridge Road and Sandfiddler Road. Authorities urged motorists to seek alternative routes as investigations continued at the scene. Dam Neck Base coordinated with officials to ease congestion and temporarily opened its gates to allow diverted traffic.

Drivers were advised to expect delays and use caution in the surrounding areas. Investigators have yet to release details on the cause of the crash or whether any charges will be filed.

Compensation at Stake for Victims

In serious accidents like this, victims and their families may be entitled to significant compensation. If the crash resulted from another driver’s negligence—such as reckless driving, distracted driving, or speeding—the injured party may be able to seek damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future rehabilitation costs. In cases of permanent disability, compensation could also cover long-term care and reduced earning capacity.

For the critically injured victim in this crash, medical costs will likely be substantial. A personal injury claim could help them receive financial support for emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, and rehabilitation. Additionally, if negligence played a role, the victim’s family could also seek compensation for emotional distress and suffering.
