CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A truck driver has been charged with reckless driving after his tractor-trailer overturned on an interstate off-ramp in Chesapeake, Virginia State Police said.
The single-vehicle accident happened just before 1 p.m. Thursday on the southbound I-664 ramp to eastbound Route 58.
Troopers said the driver, 39-year-old Andre Gaines of Chesapeake, drove his tractor-trailer too fast on the ramp and lost control of the trailer as a result. The trailer pulled to the left side, causing it and the truck to overturn.
Gaines was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. State Police say he has been charged with reckless driving.
