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.

Authorities reported traffic backups stretched to about 6.25 miles as the lane and shoulder remained blocked following the collision.

Virginia State Police said the tractor-trailer swerved after braking to avoid a crash and struck one of two Truck-Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) positioned in a work zone.

Police said one passenger inside the TMA suffered minor injuries.

State police said additional details are expected to be released as the investigation continues. The crash remains under investigation.
