At 8:13 a.m., Virginia State Police Senior Trooper T.H. Smith was called to the scene on Route 3 approximately two-tenths of a mile east of Regina Road.
A 1989 Ford F-150 pickup truck was westbound on Route 3 when it rear-ended a 2006 Chevrolet Impala that had stopped to make a left turn. The impact of the crash caused the driver of the Ford to swerve to the left, cross the centerline and sideswipe an eastbound 1999 Jeep Wrangler. The driver of the Jeep then lost control, which caused the vehicle to run off the road and overturn two times.
The driver of the Jeep, Ryiah Carrier, 23, of Kilmarnock, was flown by State Police Med-Flight helicopter to VCU MCV Hospital in Richmond. Her injuries are considered life threatening.
The driver of the Impala, Ernest Giddings, 72, of Heathsville, was transported by ambulance to Rappahannock General Hospital in Kilmarnock for treatment of minor injuries. He was wearing a safety belt.
The driver of the F-150 pickup truck, Wade Johnson, 25, of Gloucester, was not injured in the crash. He has been charged with reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, having improper registration, not having insurance and for failing to buckle up.
