Chesapeake, VA (June 25, 2021) – One person was killed in an accident that occurred on Wednesday afternoon, June 23, and reportedly involved an overturned SUV and another vehicle on Interstate 64 in Chesapeake.

Troopers with the Virginia State Police responded to the crash, which occurred in the southbound lanes of I-664 at mile marker 18, around 4:00 p.m. Upon arrival, they discovered that two vehicles collided on the left side of the highway, causing an SUV to roll over. Paramedics were dispatched to the scene and pronounced one victim deceased. It appears that at least one other victim was treated at the scene or transported to an area medical center.

The crash is still under investigation, and further details about those involved have not been provided.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim. Our thoughts are with the injured victims in hopes of a full recovery.

Motor Vehicle Accident Deaths in Virginia

Every day, millions of people throughout our state use motor vehicles to travel to and from their destinations. Automobiles are an extremely popular method for transportation and allow most people to make it safely where they intend to go. Regrettably, this is not always the case. In fact, hundreds of people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents each year in Virginia. In many cases, driver negligence is the cause of these collisions. There are numerous instances where people lose their lives due to drivers engaging in the following behaviors while operating their vehicles:

  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Using cell phones or engaging in other distracting behaviors

When drivers fail to give their full attention to the road ahead, it can have detrimental consequences for others. When victims lose their lives in preventable accidents as a result of other drivers’ negligence, it is crucial that their families reach out to a wrongful death attorney in Virginia as soon as possible.
