Franklin County, VA (May 17, 2025) – A two-vehicle collision led to reported injuries on Friday, May 16, along the 18000 block of Route 220 Northbound, near Dudley’s Truck Stop in the Virgil H. Goode area. The crash occurred in the late morning, prompting a coordinated response from Rocky Mount Volunteer Fire Department, Franklin County Fire-EMS, and Franklin Rescue Squad 2. Crews arrived at the site to find both vehicles with visible damage and multiple individuals in need of medical attention.
One or more injured parties were treated on-site, while at least one person was taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. The condition of those involved has not yet been publicly confirmed. The accident caused temporary congestion on the busy highway, a common route for both local commuters and large commercial trucks. Crews worked to clear the scene and ensure safe traffic flow as quickly as possible, though travel in the area was disrupted during the response efforts.
Located near a well-trafficked truck stop, this section of Route 220 often experiences dense vehicle activity. Investigators are now working to determine what led to the crash, including a review of witness accounts, traffic patterns, and whether driver distraction or speed may have played a role. Authorities have not yet announced any citations or charges.
We send our sincere wishes for recovery to all those impacted by this crash.
