NORFOLK, VA – A multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 64 left several people injured Tuesday afternoon, according to Virginia State Police.
The collision occurred around 2:17 p.m. on the westbound lanes of I-64 near the interchange with I-564.
Investigators said a Ford F-150 rear-ended a Hyundai Sonata, triggering a chain reaction that involved at least four vehicles.
