Multi-vehicle crash on I-64 E in Chesapeake leaves several hurt

Police say some of the people involved in the crash are hurt, but we don't know how many yet.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — All lanes of I-64 eastbound past the George Washington Highway exit in Chesapeake were closed for a multi-vehicle crash Thursday morning.

A spokesperson for the Virginia State Police said this started around 5:07 a.m., and that at 5:45 a.m., troopers were still on the scene trying to help.

Police say some of the people involved in the crash are hurt, but we don't know how many yet. There's no word how it started, either.

Around 6 a.m., there was a 2.5-mile backup to the High Rise Bridge. Military Highway is an alternate route for people trying to drive this direction.

Then, at 6:30 a.m., crews started leaving the scene and the road reopened. However, there were still miles of traffic built up behind the crash site.

Give this route a few more minutes to clear before you try heading that way.
