Route 17 crash

Virginia State Police is investigating a two-vehicle crash that occurred on Monday afternoon on Route 17 in northern Gloucester County. The preliminary investigation indicates a tractor trailer was heading northbound on George Washington Memorial Highway when it ran a red light at the intersection with Route 33 and Route 198. The tractor trailer then struck a 2011 Lincoln Navigator. The tractor trailer then went off the right side of the road, struck multiple utility poles, and eight boats located at Friday’s Malise Marine. Cole Malise, owner of the dealership, said the damage is estimated at $1.5 million. The occupants of the Navigator were taken to an area hospital with minor injuries. All were wearing seatbelts. The tractor trailer driver was not injured, and has been charged with failure to obey a highway sign. The crash remains under investigation.
