Virginia Beach, Va. – According to police, two people were killed Saturday night in Virginia Beach in two separate car accidents.

The second accident took place around 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of Ansol Lane and Armon Lane in the Lynnhaven section of the city.  Police say there were three people in a car traveling west on Ansole Lane.  The driver did not turn at a curve in the road and hit a tree.  One person died at the scene.  Two other people were taken to a hospital and are expected to survive.

Police have not released any information yet about who was killed.
