SUFFOLK, Va. — Author's note: The video above is on file from February 2022, when the Nightingale helicopter program reached its 40th anniversary.
The driver of a cement mixer had to be flown to a hospital by a Nightingale medical helicopter after the truck flipped in a crash in Suffolk.
Around 1:10 p.m. Friday, a passenger vehicle and the cement truck crashed in the 6100 block of Holy Neck Road, according to a city spokesman.
That's about two miles down Holy Neck Road from Route 58.
The cement mixer turned over, and rescue teams had to pry the driver out. The spokesman said that person has possible life-threatening injuries. Officials didn't share their name, or any other details about the driver.
Rescue workers looked over the driver of the passenger vehicle but said they refused medical treatment.
It's not clear what caused the crash, which remains under investigation.
As of 2:20 p.m., the road was still closed in both directions. The city's Public Works department has been setting up detours.
