PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, Va. — Prince George Fire and EMS and Prince George Police responded to multiple weather-related emergencies Tuesday evening following heavy rainfall and severe weather conditions across the county.
Flooding was reported shortly before 6 p.m. in the 6900 block of Dove Street, where crews found significant flooding and submerged vehicles.
Around 6:13 p.m., crews responded to the 7000 block of Whispering Winds Drive after a tree fell onto a mobile home. The structure sustained substantial damage, but no injuries were reported.
Just after 6:15 p.m., crews were dispatched to the 12000 block of County Drive for a single-vehicle crash with entrapment. One person was injured and taken to the hospital for treatment.
Both agencies are urging residents to take precautions while traveling:
- Do not drive through flooded roadways. Turn around, do not drown.
- Avoid areas with standing water, as depth and road conditions may be unsafe.
- Stay clear of downed trees and power lines.
- Virginia law requires headlights to be on when windshield wipers are in use.
- Reduce speed and increase following distance on wet roads.
- Report emergencies by calling 911 or contacting Prince George County Police Communication Officers for major road hazards or severe flooding.
