According to the Virginia State Police, a June 21 vehicular accident resulted in the deaths of two men and left another with personal injuries.

On the evening of the crash, Petersburg residents Eric Robinson, 29, James Phillips, 39, and Kevin Carter, 32, were northbound on Route 680 slightly less than 2 miles north of Route 681.

Robinson and Phillips were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash and Carter required transport to Southside Regional Hospital, though Virginia State Police Sgt. Tom Cunningham says his injuries weren’t life threatening.

Robinson and Carter were wearing their seatbelts, but Phillips was not.

On June 10, a man died after going into cardiac arrest when his vehicle was struck and sent into a ditch in Virginia Beach. The following morning at 1:17 a.m. was when 42-year-old Virginia Beach resident Eric Amdal was pronounced dead.

According to police spokesman Adam Bernstein, the accident took place shortly after 10 p.m. He said Amdal was driving south on Princess Anne Road before attempting to make a left turn onto Muddy Creek Road. The 16-year-old female driver behind him entered the northbound lane in order to try and avoid striking his car from behind.

Instead, her car struck Amdal’s vehicle on the driver’s side, sending both vehicles into the ditch. After the accident, Amdal went into cardiac arrest and died after being transported to a local hospital.

According to Bernstein, the crash was the result of “driver inexperience.” Amdal was not wearing his seat belt. Two passengers in Amdal’s vehicle sustained minor injuries.

According to police, Fillner made the turn from a travel lane, rather than a turn lane.

The 5-year-old victim was a passenger in the G6. She received transport to Mary Washington Hospital, where she later died from the personal injuries she sustained. A 7-year-old boy and the 5-year-old girl’s twin sister also received transport to the hospital. An 11-year-old girl in the G6 required air transport to Inova Fairfax Hospital. Fillner was initially transported to Mary Washington but was later flown to Inova.

The tow truck driver was a 32-year-old man traveling with his wife and two children. Police would not reveal the extent of their injuries.
