VIRGINIA — One person is dead following a crash involving two tractor-trailers and an SUV on Interstate 95 in Hanover County, according to Virginia State Police.
Authorities said the crash occurred before sunrise Thursday on the northbound side of I-95 near mile marker 97, just before the Doswell exit.
Officials confirmed the driver of the SUV was killed in the crash. The victim’s identity has not been released as authorities work to notify next of kin.
