Tragic Norfolk Accident Claims Two Lives, Leaves One Injured [NORFOLK, VA]

A devastating Norfolk accident claims two lives, leaving a community in shock and a family heartbroken. Early Sunday morning, tragedy struck on E. Little Creek Road near Wards Corner in Norfolk, Va., when a single-vehicle crash claimed the lives of 32-year-old Dalila Villanueva Calderon, affectionately known as Nairobi, and 25-year-old Justino Balladares Diaz, the driver of the vehicle. A third passenger, a 21-year-old woman, survived and is recovering from her injuries.
A Dream Cut Short
Calderon had moved to Norfolk two years ago to pursue the American dream. As her sister-in-law Osiri Amaya shared, “She wanted to be with her brother and help him support their parents in Guatemala.” Calderon was a single mother balancing two jobs, tirelessly working to provide for her children. Her 13-year-old son remains in Guatemala, while her 6-year-old son lives with her in Norfolk.
“She was a great person, faithful and loyal,” Amaya said, remembering her as a devoted family member and friend. Calderon had just finished a shift at a restaurant around 2 a.m. and was likely on her way home when the accident occurred.
The crash was so severe that the black sedan split in two after colliding with a tree. Norfolk Police, responding to a 3 a.m. call, are still investigating the cause of the tragic incident.
The Emotional and Financial Toll
The loss has left Calderon’s family grappling not only with their grief but also with the challenge of sending her body back to Guatemala for burial. This tragic situation highlights the financial and emotional strain that such accidents place on families.
The Compensation at Stake
In cases like this, the victims’ families may be entitled to compensation to cover expenses such as funeral costs, medical bills, and loss of income. Surviving passengers can seek damages for their physical injuries, emotional trauma, and any long-term rehabilitation needs. For families like Calderon, these compensations can be crucial in rebuilding their lives after such a sudden loss.
