Head-On Crash in Southampton County Leaves Three Seriously Injured

SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, Va. — Emergency crews are currently on scene of a serious two-vehicle head-on collision with entrapment on Route 460 near Drews Avenue in Southampton County.

Dispatchers received reports of the crash involving two vehicles with multiple patients trapped. First responders arrived to find a significant impact with three trauma patients requiring immediate advanced medical care.

Agencies operating on scene include Ivor Volunteer Fire Department, Wakefield Fire Department, Waverly Rescue Squad, Windsor Rescue Squad, and Courtland Volunteer Rescue Squad, Virginia State Police

Two of the injured patients were airlifted from the scene by LifeEvac 4 and AirCare Eagle to area trauma centers. Authorities are currently awaiting the arrival of Med-Flight for the third trauma patient. The landing zone has been established at Wakefield Airport to facilitate air transport.

Due to the severity of the crash, all eastbound and westbound lanes of Route 460 near Drews Avenue are currently shut down. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes as crews work the scene and investigators begin their assessment.

No additional details regarding the patients’ conditions or the cause of the crash have been released at this time. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
