Three people were hurt when a pickup truck ran off the road on Route 58 in Suffolk. The pickup truck was the only vehicle involved in the accident. It is unknown why the driver, a man whose name is unknown, veered off the road and crashed.
The vehicle in question, a Ford Ranger, was headed westbound on Rt. 58 when it left the roadway near Pine Chapel Drive in Suffolk. Two female passengers riding in the Ford were ejected when the truck veered off the road.
One lane of Route 58 had to be closed near Holland Road so that police and investigators could evaluate the scene and treat the victims.
The two women and a third victim had to be taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital to be treated for their injuries. The victims ranged in age from 18 to 20. No details of their injuries were released, and it is not known if they were hurt severely or not. According to police, all three of the victims are in stable condition.
Single vehicle crashes like this where the driver runs off the road are often caused by distracted driving or drowsy driving, where the driver falls asleep at the wheel. The driver in this situation is fortunate that no other vehicles were involved in the wreck, although his passengers were injured.
