SUMMARY OF CRASH: On the above date and time operator #2 was traveling West on Highbridge Road when he came upon a vehicle (Grey Chrysler) which had slid off the north side of the road. That vehicle had been operated by Tuttle. Operator #2 stopped to see if Tuttle, who was standing outside his vehicle, was injured or needed assistance. Tuttle communicated to operator #2 that he was not in need of assistance from him. As operator #2 was accelerating away he was struck from behind by vehicle #1 (also traveling WB) which had lost control upon seeing vehicle #2 stopped in the roadway. Vehicle #1 also collided with Tuttle (pedestrian) as he stood on the side of the road, causing potentially serious injuries. Tuttle was transported to UVMC by Fairfax Rescue for treatment of his injures. Operator # 1 was at fault for this crash. (Title 23 VSA, 1081a) Poor weather and road conditions were a contributing factor.
