A Friday night drive ended in tragedy for 23-year-old Ommie Milagros Figueroa Rodriguez of Norfolk, Virginia, who lost her life in a violent three-vehicle crash on Interstate 64 in Virginia Beach. She was riding as a passenger in a Dodge Charger when the collision occurred, leaving her dead and the driver seriously injured.
According to Virginia State Police, the crash happened at approximately 10:58 p.m. on westbound I-64 near Exit 17A for Independence Boulevard. Investigators said the Dodge Charger was allegedly traveling at a high rate of speed while involved in suspected street racing when it struck an Infiniti sedan.
The collision sent the Infiniti spinning out of control. Moments later, an SUV struck the Infiniti, turning the incident into a three-vehicle crash. The Dodge Charger also lost control and overturned several times, leaving the occupants facing devastating consequences.
Ommie, who was seated inside the Charger, suffered fatal injuries in the crash. Despite the response to the scene, the 23-year-old did not survive. The adult male driving the Dodge Charger sustained serious injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
For Ommie’s family and those who knew her, the news marks a painful loss. At 23, she was still young, with much of her life ahead of her. Her death has turned what began as an ordinary Friday night into a tragedy that her loved ones must now come to terms with.
State police have not released further details about the circumstances leading up to the collision. Investigators are working to establish exactly what happened before the Charger struck the Infiniti and whether suspected street racing played a role in the deadly crash.
The investigation remains focused on the events surrounding the three vehicles and the chain of collisions that followed the initial impact. No additional information about the other occupants or possible injuries involving the SUV and Infiniti drivers was provided in the available report.
Ommie Milagros Figueroa Rodriguez was just 23 years old. Her death leaves a family and loved ones facing a loss that cannot be measured by the details of a police report. She will be remembered by those whose lives she touched, while investigators continue working to establish the full circumstances of the crash.
