RICHMOND, Va. -- Four people were hurt after a multi-vehicle crash involving seven cars in Richmond early Saturday morning, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
The wreck happened in the 2600 block of West Main Street near Helen's Restaurant in the Fan just after 2 a.m.
Reese Vandell said she was leaving a bar when she heard a commotion.
"I just remember hearing the crash and hearing the screams and I just started to run," Vandell recalled. "Everybody that pretty much left the bar — or everybody that was on the corner started to run."
Two of the victims have life-threatening injuries, sources told Burkett.
"People pulled to the side on the sidewalks with blood gushing down their head. And others pulled from other cars that had gashes and wounds on their legs," Vandell said "And people were on the phone with the ambulance and the police."
Vandell called the crash “really scary to see” and said that she and several other people ran to help and then called 911.
“It’s almost like a sight that you see in a movie… and you have to remind yourself that what you're seeing in real life is real.”
Sources said that some of the cars involved were parked along Main.
The Richmond Police Department’s Crash Team was deployed to take measurements and complete reconstructive work as investigators work to find out how the crash happened.
