Was Hope’s car crash an accident? New ‘Virgin River’ theory says she was targeted

*Warning: spoilers ahead*

We’re still bitter about all the cliffhangers Virgin River The third season has left us. However, if there’s one burning question we want answered as soon as possible, it’s about Hope (Annette O’Toole) and whether she survived the tragic car accident.

In the third season of Virgin River, Hope was driving home when she was hit by a truck. After being admitted to the hospital, she underwent brain surgery while Doc (Tim Matheson) waited for the best in the waiting room. Unfortunately we don’t know what will happen next. However, fans are starting to believe that Hope’s car accident wasn’t an accident.

As Express points out that there are some clues that point to Calvin (Peter Cubitt) being the other driver. That’s entirely possible, especially since Calvin was spotted in a – you guessed it – truck shortly before the accident. The sighting took place as Brady (Ben Hollingsworth) left the lumber yard, narrowly avoiding a car accident thanks to Calvin and his men (who were driving two pickup trucks).

The scene was so brief that it didn’t become significant until much later, when Doc mentioned Hope being hit by an erratic truck. “I should have called her when I found out about Lilly and she would have come home,” Doc said. “She wouldn’t have been on the road when the damn truck crossed the road.”

To top it off, Calvin has been seeking revenge against the city ever since Jack (Martin Henderson) told the police about his undercover drug deal. Calvin kept a low profile in season three, allowing his men to do his dirty work, but it was only a matter of time before he made his next move – and maybe that was it. Although Hope was an innocent bystander, we can’t deny it , that her accident sends a big message to the residents of Virgin River. Don’t mess with Calvin…or else.

I guess we’ll have to wait until Virgin River The fourth season will be released on Netflix sometime next year.
