WISE â A two-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 23 near Wise sent six people to area hospitals and blocked traffic Friday evening.
According to Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller, a 2013 Nissan SUV driven by 56-year-old Mattie Archer of Pound pulled out of a private parking lot in the 6800 block of Orby Cantrell Highway around 4:12 p.m. and across northbound U.S. 23 into the path of a 2000 Dodge Durango driven by 53-year-old Mackfarlin Paragon of Clinchco, Virginia.
Paragon tried to avoid the Nissan, Geller said, but the vehicles collided and ended up in the southbound lanes of U.S. 23, blocking traffic in both directions and forcing a detour of traffic to Old Indian Creek Road.
