An early morning car crash on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 264 near Ballentine Boulevard has taken the life of one man and injured two other people.
The accident happened about one mile from Broad Creek when the driver of a 2006 Acura ran off the side of the road and hit a retaining wall. According to police, the Acura then ran off the other side of the road, struck a guard rail, became airborne, hit a light pole and control box, overturned a number of times, and finally came to rest.
While the vehicle was rolling over, three occupants were ejected. None of the three ejected individuals was wearing a seatbelt. The driver of the car, a 21 year old man from Virginia Beach, was one of those ejected; he died at the scene of the accident. His name has not yet been released, pending notification of his family.
The other two were passengers in the Acura. They were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Rollover accidents are often quite serious, especially if occupants are not wearing seatbelts.
Speed is believed to have been a factor in the accident. Police are still investigating the wreck, which led to the closing of the two right lanes of I-264.
