The driver and two juvenile passengers of a red Ford were airlifted to MCV Hospital in Richmond on Monday morning after the vehicle reportedly pulled out in front of a tractor-trailer at the intersection of Southampton Parkway and Drewry Road near the village.
The outer shell of the driver’s door stuck to this tractor-trailer after the Ford had pulled out in front oncoming westbound traffic at the intersection of Drewry Road and Southampton Parkway.
This information comes from Maj. Gene Drewery, spokesman for the Southampton County Sheriff’s Office.
He added that the call came in at approximately 7:45.
Deputies who investigated determined that the woman who drove the Ford had pulled out from Drewry Road to cross the parkway in front of oncoming westbound traffic. The tractor-trailer was apparently unable to avoid colliding with the car, which also carried a juvenile boy and girl.
There’s no update on the condition of the woman or passengers; the driver of the tractor-trailer was unhurt.
The investigation continues and no charges have been filed.
