NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A multi-vehicle crash shut down the southbound Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel (MMMBT) on Monday morning.
Virginia State Police said the accident happened around 6:40 a.m. when a Ford Focus hit a Chevrolet Malibu, causing it to sideswipe a tractor-trailer. That led to the truck driver rear-ending a Hyundai Sonata, causing a chain-reaction crash with two more vehicles in front of the Sonata.
One person was hurt in the pile-up but is expected to survive.
The drivers of the Ford Focus and the tractor-trailer were both charged with following too closely.
