This oblivious driver ran a red light after more than 6 seconds, roping in two other drivers while causing thousands in damage.
Norfolk-area driver and Redditor /u/KapptainKush shared head-shaking late-night dashcam footage from earlier in October (Oct 25, 2026) to the /r/Dashcams subreddit, showing an extremely late red-light runner at this busy intersection who caused a relatively massive multi-vehicle collision.
Here’s what that looked like below, with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the Exit 276C off-ramp from I-64 and Little Creek Rd (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP takes exit 276C toward the intersection, arriving just as the light turns green.
At that point, cross traffic has been facing a red light for at least six seconds.
As they begin to accelerate past the limit line, a careless driver going east on Little Creek runs the red, first slamming into the car next to OP in the other lane, causing a chain reaction that causes that car to crash into them.
We can hear OP and his passengers react.
OP explains the level of his reaction in the description.
“… the other car that was hit started smoking, so I wanted everyone to get out so we could check on each other. My door was blocked by the other car and I couldn’t get so it scared me a lot and I have a bit of some anxiety issues and this obviously didn’t help.”
Despite thousands of dollars in damage that will likely result in one or more of the vehicles involved getting totaled, it looks like all parties involved escaped without major injuries.
“We were all okay as well, thankfully, and all of us in the car made sure no one was hurt, then got everyone else out of their cars as well.”
OP explains in the comments that this was literally his first car ever, one that he truly loved, hence the level of his reaction.
“I really love my car as it’s my first car that is truly mine.”
OP further clarified that, despite his initial reactionary comment, he indeed does love his partner.
“She was worried about the car for me too; she knows I love her very much, and she knows I love my car too. I didn’t mean to make it sound like she’s chopped liver 😅”
An officer-issued ticket for running a red light in Norfolk carries 4 DMV demerit points and a fine of up to $350. Because an accident was involved, authorities can escalate the citation to a Class 1 misdemeanor reckless driving charge, which risks 6 demerit points, up to $2,500 in fines, and potential license suspension.
