VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — All lanes of Interstate 64 in Virginia Beach were closed due to downed power lines Monday morning, Virginia State Police (VSP) said. They have updated that lanes have been reopened.
A spokesperson for VSP said power lines owned by Dominion Energy snapped and dropped across the east and west lanes of the interstate, causing two vehicles to crash and one of them to roll over. No one was hurt.
VSP initially said the vehicle crash caused the power lines to come down and that there were injuries.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is working to redirect traffic in the area. Vehicles are being diverted off the interstate in both directions.
Around 12:30 p.m., VSP said crews with Dominion Energy are working to remove the power lines or cut power to the lines crossing the interstate. The road is expected to reopen within the hour.
