4 injured in Stafford dump truck crash

Four people were injured this morning in a crash involving two dump trucks and an SUV in North Stafford.

Four people who were traveling in two dump trucks were taken to a hospital suffering injuries that didn’t appear to be life threatening. The female driver of the SUV also involved in the crash refused to be taken to a hospital, said Stafford fire and rescue spokesman Mark Doyle.

A fuel tank on one of the dump trucks ruptured. A nearby sand a gravel business provided free sand to emergency crews tasked with cleaning up the fuel spill.

A portion of Shelton Shop Road was closed to traffic due to the crash. Traffic was redirected onto Oakwood Drive, as well as back to Garrisonville Road so drivers could find another way around the crash.

Virginia State Police are investigating the crash. We’re still waiting to find out if charges will be filed in this case.
