Jose Santos, manager of nearby Sam’s Crab House, told 8News he noticed the damage when he was on his way into work a few hours after the crash.
“When I came in like around 9, 9:40, I see a lot of, you know, people working on it,” said Santos. “Slow down or you know, drive it slow.”
Sam’s Crab House is on the same intersection as where the crash took place and Santos said crashes are common in the area. In 2023, a total of five crashes took place at the intersection of Richmond Highway and Courtland Street. The year before, a total of 14 took place within a mile.
The crash is under investigation by the Richmond Police Department Crash Team. Anyone with information is asked to call Crash Team Sergeant D. Cuffley at 804-646-3135.
