Prince William, VA (December 3, 2024) – A serious crash occurred on Monday, December 2, when a vehicle crashed into a multi-story apartment building at 12701 Gordon Blvd. The impact caused a partial collapse of the structure, trapping one individual inside the vehicle.
Emergency crews were quick to respond, with fire crews successfully extricating the trapped patient from the vehicle. At least two helicopters were dispatched to the scene, prepared to transport the injured individual to a local trauma center. As of now, the patient’s condition has not been fully detailed, but emergency responders continue to assess the situation.
Authorities are warning of potential delays in the area due to the ongoing emergency response and the structural concerns following the collapse. It is unclear at this time how many other people were in the building at the time of the accident, and the investigation into the crash remains underway.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and authorities will continue to work to determine whether driver error, mechanical failure, or other factors were involved. The cleanup and structural assessments will continue throughout the day as crews ensure the building is safe for those who may still be inside.
We wish those hurt a swift recovery.
