A Henrico man is facing charges after allegedly leading police on a high-speed chase last night (Wednesday) that concluded with a crash off of I-395 in Lincolnia.
According to the Virginia State Police, a trooper attempted to stop the driver of a Honda sedan who was travelling north “at a high rate of speed” on I-95 near Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge around 10:29 p.m. yesterday. When the driver didn’t stop, the trooper initiated a pursuit.
Continuing north on I-95 at over 100 mph, the driver tried to exit the highway at Edsall Road, police said.
“The suspect vehicle failed to negotiate a curve at the exit, causing the sedan to become airborne,” the VSP said in a press release. “The suspect vehicle then collided with another vehicle at this location.”
Initial scanner traffic indicated that there were three people in the other vehicle, including two people who got ejected.
However, VSP spokesperson Matthew Demlein says there were only two people in the vehicle. The driver and a passenger, both of them Springfield residents, were taken to a hospital with injuries described by police as “serious.”
The Honda driver, who has been identified by the VSP as 22-year-old Cameron Teach, was trapped in the sedan and had to be extricated. He was also taken to an area hospital, police said.
Teach will be charged with reckless driving for speeding and eluding law enforcement, which is a Class 6 felony in Virginia if the fleeing endangers a law enforcement vehicle or another person.
A Class 6 felony could be punished with one to five years in prison, or up to a year in jail with a $2,500 fine. Reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor with a potential sentence of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine, unless the person was driving without a license and killed someone, which would make it a felony.
“Additional charges are pending,” the VSP said.

Correction: This story initially misstated the conditions that would make reckless driving a felony, saying only that the charge would be elevated if the driver didn’t have a license. According to the Virginia code, the reckless driving would also have to cause someone’s death.
