Tragic Collision on Shipps Corner Results in Two Fatalities

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A tragic collision on Shipps Corner claimed the lives of two individuals early Wednesday morning, according to the Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD).

The single-vehicle crash occurred at approximately 12:32 a.m. on the 2900 block of Shipps Corner Road. Emergency responders were promptly dispatched to the scene.

The section of Shipps Corner Road between Skylark Drive and Old Clubhouse Road, near Oceana, was shut down for several hours as authorities investigated the incident and cleared the wreckage. The road has since been reopened to traffic.

Witnesses reported seeing a black pickup truck with severe damage at the scene, which emergency vehicles had cordoned off.

WAVY’s Nick Broadway, who was present during the aftermath, observed that it took crews about an hour to load the wrecked vehicle onto a tow truck. Neighbors have noted that the sharp turn where the crash occurred is notorious for accidents.

While the exact cause of the crash is still under investigation, the sharp curve on Shipps Corner Road has been a common site for accidents. The police have yet to release additional details regarding the number of individuals involved in the crash or the specific circumstances leading up to the tragedy.
