Doncev Family Remembered After Interstate 95 Virginia Pileup Claimed Dmitri, Ecaterina, Emily, and Mark Doncev During May 29 Southbound Trip
Greenfield mourns Dmitri Doncev, 45, Ecaterina Doncev, 44, Emily Doncev, 13, and Mark Doncev, 7, after a May 29, 2026, early morning pileup on Interstate 95 in Virginia.
The family traveled southbound toward South Carolina for a wedding when low visibility contributed to a chain-reaction collision across several lanes before sunrise.
Authorities reported five total deaths, including the Doncev family of four, and several others went to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Virginia State Police continue to review vehicle positions, traffic flow, speed patterns, and witness accounts as they prepare a full report.
Friends remembered Dmitri and Ecaterina as devoted parents who focused their lives on their children’s future and well-being.
Teachers and classmates remembered Emily as bright, thoughtful, and calm, while Mark brought energy, laughter, and warmth to those around them.
Schools opened counseling support, and Greenfield neighbors have gathered flowers, handwritten notes, candles, and memorial plans while service details remain pending.
