Route 168 in Chesapeake Reopens After Stolen Car Collision [CHESAPEAKE, VA]

CHESAPEAKE, VA. — A stolen car collision resulted in a dramatic rollover crash on Route 168 in Chesapeake early Wednesday morning, following a police pursuit. According to police reports, the incident began when officers attempted a traffic stop on a reported stolen vehicle.

The driver of the stolen car failed to comply with the officer’s signals, initiating a brief but intense pursuit. The chase came to an abrupt end near the exit on Battlefield Boulevard when the vehicle crashed, rolling over and causing significant disruption. Thankfully, the driver only sustained minor injuries and was quickly taken into custody by the police.

As a result of the crash, one lane in each direction on Route 168 was temporarily closed to traffic. Emergency response teams swiftly arrived on the scene to manage the situation and clear the debris. The lanes have since reopened, restoring normal traffic flow and ensuring the safety of other road users.

Victims of car accidents, including those caused by stolen vehicles, may be entitled to various forms of compensation.

At Breit Law Attorneys, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll such accidents can have on victims and their families.

Compensation typically covers medical expenses, including emergency services, ongoing treatment, and rehabilitation costs. Additionally, victims may receive compensation for lost wages if the injury impacts their ability to work. Pain and suffering, non-economic damage, may also be compensated, recognizing the emotional distress and reduced quality of life resulting from the accident.

Property damage is another critical area of compensation. If a victim’s vehicle or personal belongings are damaged or destroyed in the crash, they can seek reimbursement for repair or replacement costs.

In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the at-fault party’s actions were particularly reckless or malicious. This form of compensation serves as a deterrent against future misconduct.
