HAMPTON, Norfolk County, Va., Oct. 27, 2026 — Two women were hospitalized on Monday morning, October 26, after two separate crashes shut down all westbound lanes of Interstate 64 at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel.
Virginia State Police said troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash and a three-vehicle crash on westbound I-64 at the bridge-tunnel at about 7:04 a.m. One of the crashes reportedly involved a motorcycle, according to sources cited by a regional incident-tracking page, though that detail has not been confirmed by troopers.
Two adult women suffered injuries described as non-life-threatening and were taken to an area hospital for treatment. It has not been released which crash each woman was involved in.
The closure of all westbound lanes backed up traffic through the Monday morning commute. Investigators have not released further details on how either crash happened, and the cause of each remains under investigation.
We hope those who were hurt recover fully and quickly.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Hampton, VA
If you're involved in a crash on I-64 or anywhere in Hampton, stay inside your vehicle if it's unsafe to exit, especially near moving traffic in a tunnel or on a bridge. Turn on hazard lights and wait for responders if you can't move to a shoulder safely. Once you're clear of danger, document the scene with photos if possible and get a copy of the police report for your records.
