RICHMOND, Va. – A vehicle that hit a patch of ice ran through the guardrail on the Lombardy Street railroad overpass, and fell onto the CSX railroad tracks below. The overpass is located near the 1301 block of N. Lombardy Street, not far from Virginia Union University.
Officers arrived and found the two occupants of the vehicle at the scene. They were transported to a local hospital with injuries that were not considered life threatening.
The vehicle had been traveling northbound on Lombardy Street when the female driver lost control on ice which caused the vehicle to leave the roadway. No other vehicles were involved and no charges have been placed.
The bridge was built in 1932 and last inspected on Sept. 29, 2017.
The railroad tracks were shut down briefly from incoming traffic.
