Four-Vehicle Crash Involving Bayside High School Bus Injures Two Adults on Witchduck Road [VIRGINIA BEACH, VA]

Two adults were injured Thursday afternoon when a four-vehicle crash involving a Virginia Beach City Public Schools bus shut down traffic at the intersection of Witchduck Road and Aragona Boulevard, according to the Virginia Beach Police Department. Officers were called to the 4800 block of Witchduck Road at approximately 2:15 p.m. on September 3, 2026. Investigators determined that four vehicles were involved in the crash, including a school bus transporting students from Bayside High School. When officers and EMS personnel arrived, they located two adults with injuries, both of whom were transported to local hospitals for treatment. No children on the school bus were hurt, and the bus driver was uninjured. Virginia Beach City Public Schools sent a statement to families confirming that all students were safe and that student safety remains the district’s highest priority. All lanes of Witchduck Road were closed at Aragona Boulevard while investigators worked the scene. The investigation is ongoing.

The Witchduck Road and Aragona Boulevard intersection has a history of crashes, according to neighbors who live in the area. “Crashes in the area are not uncommon,” one nearby resident told reporters, noting that speeding has been a persistent concern for drivers and residents navigating the intersection. The September 3 crash closed the entire intersection and required detours through Kellam Road and Jericho Road while VBPD conducted its investigation.

When a multi-vehicle crash involves a school bus, determining how the collision occurred may require reviewing the actions of each driver involved. Investigators may examine vehicle positions, traffic signals, witness statements, available video footage, and other evidence to determine the sequence of events and whether any driver contributed to the crash.

For the two adults injured in this crash, potential legal options will depend on what the investigation determines about how the collision occurred. If another party’s negligence contributed to the crash, an injured person may have options through a personal injury claim under Virginia law. When a government-operated vehicle is involved, additional legal and procedural requirements may apply depending on the circumstances.

Virginia’s contributory negligence rule can significantly affect claims arising from multi-vehicle crashes. The specific facts surrounding the collision and the conduct of each driver may play an important role in determining an injured person’s legal options under Virginia law.
