A crash involving two vehicles, one of which allegedly driven by an unlicensed 15 year-old, closed Caroline Street near its intersection with Frederick Street in Downtown Fredericksburg on Sunday afternoon.
Shortly after 1:00 PM, a call was received for a motor vehicle crash with injury in the area of Caroline and Frederick streets, adjacent to the Fredericksburg train station. On the scene, two vehicles were observed with heavy damage on the sidewalk, including a silver sedan hatchback and a small brown pickup truck. That collision resulted in both vehicles becoming stuck off of the roadway before striking separate trees.
Witnesses on the scene say one of the vehicles was allegedly driven by an unlicensed 15 year-old who was said to have run a stop sign before striking the other vehicle. That teenager purportedly faces charges that include driving without a license, reckless driving and failure to wear a seatbelt. Radio traffic indicated that individual, one of three occupants involved in Sunday’s crash, was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Caroline Street, which was blocked off by first responders for approximately thirty minutes, is now open to traffic.
