Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged on appeal, a reviewing court determines whether the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prevailing party and the reasonable inferences fairly deducible from that evidence support each and every element of the charged offense. In so doing, the reviewing court must discard the evidence of the accused in conflict with that of the Commonwealth, and regard as true all the credible evidence favorable to the Commonwealth and all fair inferences that may be drawn therefrom. It is the reviewing court's duty to look to that evidence which tends to support the conviction and to permit the conviction to stand unless plainly wrong. Indeed, the judgment of a trial court sitting without a jury is entitled to the same weight as a jury verdict and will not be set aside unless it appears from the evidence that the judgment is plainly wrong or without evidence to support it.
"Involve" is defined, in pertinent part, as to draw in as a participant, to implicate, to relate closely, to connect, to have an effect on, to concern directly, to affect. Nothing in these definitions suggests that, for purposes of determining criminal liability under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-894, a driver must have legally caused an accident in order to be considered "involved" in the accident. Indeed, the various definitions make it clear, given the breadth of their scope, that a driver need only be implicated in or connected with the accident in a substantial or logical manner to be "involved" in an accident under § 46.2-894.
