Two men had to be airlifted to Fairfax Inova Hospital after a serious car accident in Front Royal. The men, Ronald Foreman, 23 and his unidentified companion, were test driving a 2003 Mazda 6 from Front Royal Auto Center when the accident happened.

It is not known if Foreman, a Stephens City resident, or the other occupant was driving the car at the time of the crash. The accident happened in the early afternoon on Tuesday at the point where Andrews Road merges with Bucks Mill Road.

Whoever was driving the car went straight through the turn, hit an embankment, and then crashed head-on into a tree. One man was on the ground outside of the vehicle when fire and rescue arrived. It is not known if the man was thrown from the car or if he crawled out.

According to Virginia State Police both men hit the windshield in the crash, and neither was wearing a seatbelt. As a result of the accident, one man suffered leg injuries and the other suffered head injuries. No further information about their condition is known.
