Reckless Driving Results in 4 Deaths in Virginia

Posted on May 18, 2009

Traffic accidents happen frequently, and unexpectedly. Over 145,000 traffic accidents occurred in Virginia in 2007. The ones in which people are seriously injured or killed, such as this one on March 22, 2009, are tragic. Especially if they could be avoided with a little care.

Four people died after a head-on collision early yesterday between a sport utility vehicle and a sedan on state Route 3 near Stevensburg in Culpeper County.Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Les Tyler said the accident was reported around 2:50 a.m. The victims were identified as Tyler Scott Harlow, 20, and Joseph Lee Sahnow, 20, both of Ruckersville; Tianna V. Jones, 19, of Stanardsville, and James B. Cook, 21, of Marshfield, Vt.

Tyler said all four died at the scene about a tenth of a mile east of state Route 739. Harlow, the sedan driver, and Jones were wearing seat belts; the two other victims were not, state police said. A fifth passenger in the Toyota, 27-year-old Howard John Steiniger of Fredericksburg, was taken to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg before being transferred to a Richmond-area hospital. His condition was not available yesterday evening.

According to Tyler, 29-year-old Eugene T. Green of Culpeper was driving his SUV the wrong way, headed westbound in the eastbound lane of the two-lane stretch of highway, when the vehicles collided. Green, who Tyler said was not wearing a seat belt, also was taken to Mary Washington Hospital. Green's condition was also not available yesterday evening.

The accident prompted authorities to close the highway and detour traffic for about six hours while they cleared the scene and investigated the incident.

Richmond Virginia Reckless Driving Attorney

I was test-driving a BMW in Richmond. Soon after leaving the dealer's lot another driver ran a stop sign and T-bonedthe BMW. I was hurt pretty bad. My hospital bills are already over $100,000, and I will likely miss 6 months of work. My lawyer said the other driver had minimum liabilty limits of $25,000 on his insurance policy, but that won't be enough to even cover my medical costs. Am I stuck?

My teenage daughter was injured in an auto accident recently and was not at fault. The accident occurred in Richmond on I-95/I-64. The other car was driven by the owner's nephew, and because the nephew lived with the owner and was not listed as a potential driver of the car when the application for insurance was made, the insurance company is denying coverage. Can the insurance company do thiseven whenthe owner of the other car paid the insurancepremiums on time?
