A crash at the intersection of Madison Road and Sunset Lane in the early evening on Tuesday resulted in four people being taken to the local hospital to be treated for accident-related injuries.
The accident happened when, according to Culpeper police, a Honda Accord being driven by Culpeper resident Michael Thompson Jr., 20, crashed into a Pontiac sedan. At the time of the crash the Pontiac was headed north on Madison Road and the Accord was attempting to turn south onto Sunset Lane.
Because of the crash the Pontiac driver had to be taken to the hospital, which was fortunately very close to the scene of the accident. Three occupants of Thompson’s Accord were also taken to the hospital.
An investigation of the incident revealed that Thompson had failed to heed the turn signal. As a result police charged him with failure to obey a traffic signal and failure to maintain insurance.
No word on the severity of the injuries sustained by Thompson’s passengers or by the Pontiac driver.
Uninsured motorists are a challenge on Virginia roads, because if they cause a wreck the other driver is left without insurance – unless they have adequate uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage on their own auto insurance policy.
