Hanover County, VA (April 21, 2025) – A serious three-vehicle collision occurred Sunday afternoon on Interstate 95 South at mile marker 95 in Hanover County, resulting in injuries and major traffic delays, according to local fire dispatch reports.
Rescue crews from unit 404 responded to the scene, where they found three vehicles involved in a collision with heavy damage. Fire and EMS teams worked quickly to assess the situation and manage multiple hazards, including fluid leaks and vehicle debris across the roadway. Two individuals sustained injuries in the crash—one of whom required transportation to a nearby medical facility for further care.
As fire crews worked to secure the scene and mitigate road hazards, all travel lanes on I-95 South were temporarily blocked, creating significant delays for Sunday travelers. Officials urged motorists to seek alternate routes while emergency response and cleanup operations were underway.

Multi-Vehicle Crashes on I-95 in Virginia
I-95 is one of Virginia’s busiest and most accident-prone highways. Sunday’s multi-vehicle crash in Hanover County underscores the dangers of high-speed, high-volume travel corridors—especially in areas where merging, sudden stops, or traffic congestion are common.
According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, collisions involving three or more vehicles tend to result in higher rates of injury and roadway disruption. When all lanes are blocked, as they were in this incident, emergency response becomes more complex, and the risk of secondary accidents increases.
Hazards such as leaking fuel, scattered vehicle parts, and crushed metal can prolong closure times and increase risk for both victims and responders. Hanover County Fire-EMS teams are trained to handle these exact scenarios, using a combination of medical triage and hazardous materials containment.
In the aftermath of multi-vehicle crashes, injured individuals often face a long road to recovery—physically, emotionally, and financially. Medical care, insurance claims, legal questions, and ongoing treatment can create overwhelming challenges.
