Why is Dam Neck Road So Dangerous?

On July 12, police reported two people died when a motorcyclist that was allegedly racing another car hit a moped on Dam Neck Road. By the end of July, six motorcyclists had died in Virginia Beach. The tally equaled the total motorcyclist death toll in the resort for 2017. A 17-year-old girl was charged with racing in a Subaru Crosstrek.
Three months earlier in April, Virginia Beach police officers were called to a fatal accident involving two vehicles on Dam Neck Road just before 6:30 p.m. on a Friday evening. The force of the impact sent both the vehicles off the roadway.
Police said the driver of a minivan hit the rear of a Honda Civic. The smaller vehicle was forced off the right side of the highway. The minivan left the highway to the left, hitting several trees in the median. One death was reported at the accident scene.
In some cases, drivers running a red light or failing to stop at a stop sign have caused a serious Dam Neck Road crash. In 2009, a woman and her daughter were killed by a red light runner at the intersection of Dam Neck Road and Corporate Landing Parkway.
