Richmond, VA (May 17, 2025) – A late-night crash on May 15 resulted in reported injuries at the intersection of East 33rd St and Midlothian Turnpike in the Swansboro West section of Richmond. The collision happened shortly before 11:00 p.m., prompting police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel to respond to the scene without delay.
Several individuals involved in the crash required immediate medical care. One person was transported to a nearby hospital for additional treatment, though authorities have not released details on the extent of the injuries. Multiple vehicles were damaged in the collision, causing part of the roadway to close temporarily while crews worked to clear the debris and restore safe traffic conditions.
This particular stretch of Midlothian Tpke is known for heavy evening traffic and limited nighttime visibility, making it especially prone to incidents. The intersection also sees frequent turning movements that can increase the risk of crashes. Investigators are now working to determine what caused the accident, with early considerations including right-of-way violations, driver distraction, and unsafe speeds. Law enforcement officials are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to piece together the sequence of events.
We extend our thoughts to all those impacted by this accident and hope for a complete recovery.
