This Glen Allen intersection has seen 13 crashes in 5 years. What's being done?

Drivers in Glen Allen say a busy intersection at Nuckols Road and Fords Country Lane has become a dangerous bottleneck — and a five-year crash history backs them up.

The intersection, which sits along the main thoroughfare to the Westside Landfill, has seen 13 crashes over the past five years: three in 2025, two in 2024, four in 2023, one in 2022, and two in 2021. The most recent crash happened this past Tuesday, when a dump truck collided with a sedan while attempting a left turn.

Sam Sharma, who drives through the intersection daily, said the backup is a constant problem.

"People are waiting for people to let them through to make either a left or right turn onto Nuckols," Sharma said.

Sharma said the congestion extends well beyond rush hour, with large trucks frequently blocking the road and creating hazardous conditions for other drivers.
