HARRISONBURG, Va – Three youngsters are lucky to be alive following a crash Tuesday morning in Harrisonburg.

Captain Jason Kidd with Harrisonburg Police reports that at around 7:30, a Camaro was traveling southbound in the 100 block of Waterman Drive when it lost control and left the roadway.

The vehicle traveled more than 450 feet and rolled several times. The Camaro came to rest in a driveway, where it caught fire briefly before workers from a nearby business extinguished the flames. All occupants exited the vehicle without incident.

The 16-year-old driver and two juvenile passengers were on their way to school and each was transported to Sentara R-M-H for treatment of minor injuries.

Kidd said excessive speed appeared to be a factor in the crash.

The driver was charged with reckless driving, driving without an operator’s license, and violating passenger restrictions.
