CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA – Chesterfield County Police have charged a juvenile male driver in relation to a motor vehicle crash that occurred at about 9 a.m. on April 18, 2019, in the 5500 block of Courthouse Road.
In that crash, a Scion TC was traveling north on Courthouse Road when it lost control and crossed the median. The Scion TC was then struck by a Chevrolet Malibu traveling south. Following the initial crash, a southbound Nissan Versa struck the Chevrolet Malibu. The drivers of the Scion TC and the Chevrolet Malibu were transported to area hospitals with serious to life-threatening injuries.
The investigation indicates that the driver of the Scion TC, a 17-year-old male, was racing another vehicle just prior to the crash. That vehicle, which is described as a small, white vehicle with blue racing stripes, did not stop at the scene of the crash.
On Tuesday, July 23, the 17-year-old male was arrested and charged with reckless driving – racing; racing – causing injury to another person; and driving without a license. As of this morning, he was being held at the Chesterfield County Juvenile Detention Home.
