A traffic accident on Interstate 64 in Newport News involving three vehicles and a Virginia State Police patrol car caused traffic problems on February 11, 2009. Two lanes of I-64 had to be shut down and the exit ramp to northbound J. Clyde Morris Boulevard was closed as a result of the crash.
One motorist sustained minor injuries in the accident and drove to the hospital in her own car. The trooper had to be transported to a local hospital to treat her injuries but is expected to make a full recovery.
The cause of the accident is unknown and is still under investigation. This is the second accident in two days involving a Virginia State Police officer. The previous day, a state trooper on a motorcycle clipped the side of a car that was driving illegally on the I-64 shoulder.
The officer on the motorcycle was taken to the local hospital for x-rays after falling from her bike. The woman driving illegally on the shoulder claimed to be late for a test at Hampton University and was charged with improper passing on the shoulder.
