Seven passengers injured in single-car crash near Forest, officials say
Seven passengers injured in single-car crash near Forest, officials say
NEIL HARVEY The Roanoke Times May 16, 2021
Crews in Forest responded early Sunday to a wreck involving a car carrying eight occupants, six of whom were ejected from the vehicle, officials said, but little additional information has been released.
According to Virginia State Police, the wreck occurred shortly after 3 a.m. on Ivy Lake Drive. A news release said the car overturned and seven people were injured, but by press time Sunday state police had not identified any of the victims or said what might have caused the crash.
One patient was airlifted to a hospital, according to a Facebook post by the Forest Fire Department. ... Photographs posted by the department showed the vehicle involved was a four-door car that sustained significant damage.
No additional details were provided and the department did not respond to an email sent Sunday. Its Facebook post said crews from Boonsboro, Campbell County, and Lynchburg were among those that assisted.
