Norfolk, Va. - One man was killed and another seriously injured in a multi-vehicle crash that pinned a man between two cars on Wesleyan Drive near the Virginia Beach/Norfolk city line.

The crash was reported at 9:26pm. Norfolk units responded to the scene first and took command, though Virginia Beach Police and Fire crews were also on scene.

Police have identified the fatal crash victim as James A. Wilson of Chesapeake, Virginia. Next of kin was notified prior to the release of the victim’s identity.

The health status of the second male victim transported by medics, remains serious, yet non-life threatening. Two women and an infant were also hospitalized, but their injuries are not considered to be life threatening, police say.

An investigation is ongoing. Once the investigation is complete, the Commonwealth’s Attorney will determine any charges.

Police say a Dodge Stratus was traveling southbound when the driver stopped in a traffic lane and James A. Wilson of Chesapeake got out to place something in the trunk.

A Mazda CX-7 traveling in the same lane collided with the Stratus and pinned Wilson between the two cars. Wilson was transported to Sentara Leigh Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:38PM.
