STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — One person is in the hospital after a crash on Interstate 95 in Stafford County. Virginia State Police troopers are investigating what led up to the collision.
Troopers were called to southbound I-95 at mile marker 138 around 6 a.m. for a report of a two-vehicle crash. When troopers arrived, they found an SUV and a tractor trailer had collided.
Investigators learned that the SUV was stopped on the right shoulder of I-95 when it was struck by a tractor trailer heading southbound. The SUV spun out while the tractor trailer went over the guardrail, down an embankment and caught fire, troopers said.
Both drivers were able to get out of their vehicles, but the driver of the SUV was taken to an area hospital. The severity of that driver’s injuries is not known.
Southbound I-95 near the crash scene was closed to traffic for several hours Thursday morning, but the road is now back open to traffic.
The crash remains under investigation, troopers said. Additional details have not been released.
