CULPEPER, Va. - One person was killed and two others were injured in a five-vehicle crash in Culpeper County, Virginia State Police say.
At 6:08 p.m. on Wednesday, Virginia state troopers responded to a crash at the intersection of Route 211 — Lee Highway and Route 229 — Rixeyville Road in Culpeper County.
The investigation revealed that four vehicles were traveling westbound on Route 211 when they stopped for a red light. A fifth vehicle couldn't stop as it was coming up and rear-ended one of the stopped vehicles, which set off a chain reaction crash involving all five cars.
One person was pronounced dead as a result of the collision and two people were flown to INOVA Fairfax Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. Two other people were transported to Fauquier Health for treatment of minor injuries.
The identity of the deceased has not been released at this time.
