NORFOLK, VIRGINIA — A tractor-trailer crash on Interstate 64 westbound in Norfolk Saturday afternoon caused major delays near the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel and left at least one person with minor injuries, according to Virginia State Police.

The crash happened at approximately 3:15 p.m. at mile marker 273.7 on I-64 West, closing the right lane and right shoulder, officials said.
