Two Adults and Child Seriously Injured in Two-Vehicle Crash on Princess Anne Road [Virginia Beach, VA]

Two adults and a child were seriously injured Saturday evening after a two-vehicle crash on Princess Anne Road in Virginia Beach, according to the Virginia Beach Police Department. Emergency Communications received a report of the crash at approximately 6:42 p.m. on June 21, 2026, in the 1500 block of Princess Anne Road. When officers arrived, they located three victims — two adults and one child — and all three were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries. The road was closed in both directions from Malbon Road South to Pleasant Ridge Road while crews worked the scene. The investigation remains active and ongoing, and police say additional information will be released as it becomes available.

The Virginia Beach Police Department has not released details about the circumstances that led to the crash, including the direction of travel of the vehicles involved or whether any citations or charges have been issued. Anyone with information about the crash is encouraged to contact the Virginia Beach Police Department.

Crashes involving children are among the most heartbreaking outcomes of driver negligence on Virginia roads. When a child is seriously injured in a vehicle collision caused by another party’s carelessness, Virginia law provides specific avenues for the child’s family to pursue compensation — not only for the immediate costs of emergency care, but for the long-term physical, emotional, and developmental consequences that a serious injury in childhood can produce. Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and the impact on a child’s future quality of life are all factors that may be considered in a personal injury claim brought on a child’s behalf.

Under Virginia law, a claim involving an injured child is typically brought by a parent or guardian on the child’s behalf. Because claims involving minors can involve unique legal considerations and procedural requirements, families should take steps to preserve evidence and understand their rights as early as possible following a serious crash.

Adults seriously injured in the same crash have their own independent right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. For any of the victims in this crash, establishing the facts of how it occurred — including which driver had the right of way, whether a traffic signal or stop sign was involved, and what caused one vehicle to collide with the other — will be central to any injury claim.

Virginia’s contributory negligence rule makes this especially important. Because even a small finding of fault against an injured party can bar recovery entirely, the way the crash is documented and investigated from the earliest stages can have a lasting impact on the outcome. Consulting with an attorney before making statements to insurance adjusters, and ensuring that the official crash report is obtained and reviewed, are important first steps for any family affected by this collision.
