Suffolk man seriously injured when SUV flips


Posted on May 28, 2009

The driver of a sport-utility vehicle had to be airlifted to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital last week after flipping his vehicle on Interstate 264.

 

According to police the driver, a 20 year old Suffolk man, was driving at a high rate of speed on eastbound I-264 when he tried to cross four lanes of traffic.

 

The driver hit a pickup truck and then a GMC vehicle, then his Ford SUV went airborne over a concrete Jersey wall, and flipped over into westbound traffic.  The occupants of the vehicles he hit had minor injuries.

 

Rescuers had to extract the trapped driver from the wreckage and then fly him by helicopter to the hospital where he was treated for serious injuries.  No further information was available about the driver’s condition.

 

Both sides of I-264 had to be temporarily shut down because of the accident.
