CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. — Nine people were injured after a Virginia Department of Corrections van crashed Thursday afternoon in Caroline County.
Sources said a driver and eight inmates were in the van when it slammed into an Oak tree at the end of a driveway on Old Dawn Rd. off Route 301 around 3 p.m.
A homeowner told CBS 6 News reporter Jon Burkett that she rushed outside when she heard a loud bang.
She said the driver told her to call 911 and not to worry because the inmates were non-violent offenders.
