Norfolk, VA (September 4, 2025) – A multi-vehicle collision involving four vehicles occurred Thursday morning on Interstate 64 Eastbound near the Granby Street exit, leaving at least one person injured and causing significant traffic delays during early commute hours.
The crash was reported shortly before 9:40 AM near Exit 276B. Emergency units from Norfolk Fire and EMS responded promptly to assess injuries, manage hazards, and coordinate traffic control. According to dispatch audio, at least one female passenger sustained injuries after being struck by a pickup truck and was treated at the scene for what has been classified as a BLS (Basic Life Support) level injury.
The impact caused several vehicles to scatter along the eastbound lanes, with one car reported further down the interstate in a construction area. Emergency crews remained on-site to assist and evaluate additional motorists for injuries. At least four vehicles were confirmed to be involved in the crash.
Lanes 1 and 2 were partially blocked as medics and firefighters worked to stabilize the scene and investigate the cause. The situation was brought under control with assistance from Ladder 14, Engine 13, Medic 6, and other responding units.
Authorities have not yet released the names of the individuals involved, and the incident remains under investigation.
We send our best wishes to the injured individuals and hope for a full and swift recovery.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Virginia
Crashes involving three or more vehicles, like the one that occurred Thursday morning on I-64 East near Granby Street, often result in greater risks for injury, confusion, and secondary collisions. The more vehicles involved, the higher the complexity of the crash scene—and the greater the challenge for responders trying to secure it.
In this incident, several units from Norfolk Fire and EMS responded to reports of injuries, including a woman hurt by a pickup truck. While her injuries were treated on scene as non-life-threatening, the chaotic nature of multi-car crashes means even seemingly minor injuries can be deceptive. Trauma symptoms often worsen in the hours after a crash, especially when adrenaline masks early pain.
I-64 is a major commuter artery through Norfolk, and its proximity to dense urban exits like Granby Street increases the likelihood of traffic slowdowns and chain-reaction collisions. Morning rush hour volume, combined with nearby construction zones as mentioned in dispatch, may have been contributing factors.
Multi-vehicle crashes typically result in complex investigations due to overlapping fault, varied insurance coverages, and multiple statements. It’s not uncommon for victims to feel overwhelmed—dealing with property damage, possible medical treatment, and the legal intricacies of determining liability.
