A vehicle crashed into a home in the 3200 block of Buckner Boulevard in Virginia Beach early Friday morning, sending the driver to the hospital while leaving the house itself empty of any residents at the time of impact. Officers were dispatched to the scene around 6:36 a.m. after reports of a single-vehicle crash.
According to a report citing police, the home was unoccupied when the vehicle struck it, and the driver was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Police have not disclosed the extent of the driver's injuries, and the crash remains under investigation. WAVY.com reported on the incident Friday.
What Investigators Have Confirmed So Far
Beyond the basic sequence of events, authorities have released few details. The same account notes that officers responded to the Buckner Boulevard address specifically for a single-vehicle crash, with no indication yet of what led the vehicle to strike the structure.
No determination has been made public regarding the cause of the crash, and police have not said whether the home sustained significant structural damage. The outlet's report does not specify the vehicle type or the direction it was traveling before impact, leaving much of the incident's circumstances still unclear as the investigation continues.
A Pattern Of Vehicles Striking Homes In Virginia Beach
Friday's crash is not the only recent instance of a vehicle colliding with a residence in the city. In a separate incident on a Thursday evening, 13News Now reported that a woman was critically injured after a vehicle crashed into a home on South Rosemont Road. That earlier case, involving a different location and a reported injury to a person rather than an unoccupied structure, remains a distinct incident from Friday's crash on Buckner Boulevard.
No further updates on the Buckner Boulevard crash have been released as of Friday afternoon. Police have given no timeline for when additional details, including the cause of the crash or the condition of the driver, might be made public.
