CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — A crash led to power outages for about 5,000 people in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake on Tuesday afternoon.
Chesapeake officials tweeted at 12:52 p.m. that the crash happened in the 1000 block of Volvo Parkway.
The investigation found an SUV was heading from Kempsville Road toward Greenbrier Parkway when another vehicle made a left turn in front of it. The SUV swerved to avoid hitting the vehicle, and ran off the roadway, striking a power box. Minor injuries were reported.
