Push for speed limit change after fatal HRBT crash
After a tragic accident at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) led to the death of Thomas Wiley, a close friend of his, Amy Hollandsworth, has started a petition calling for reduced speed limits and improved safety measures within the tunnel. The petition aims to honor Wiley's memory and prevent similar incidents in the future. Crash data from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles shows numerous accidents in and around the tunnel last year, prompting concerns for safety. In response to inquiries from the news outlet, VDOT has explained the process for changing speed limits involves a request followed by a review to determine if it is warranted. VDOT also highlights their continuous efforts to monitor and respond to incidents around the HRBT with a dedicated team of employees.
