Interstate Accidents in Virginia
Accidents on high-speed roadways like I-195 in Richmond often lead to both serious injuries and major traffic impacts—especially during peak commuting hours. Crashes that involve lane closures, like Tuesday morning’s on the northbound side at mile marker 3.5, not only affect the individuals involved but also delay thousands of drivers and require coordinated emergency responses.
Injury crashes on interstates can happen suddenly due to speed, lane changes, distracted driving, or merging conflicts. Even a single-vehicle accident in one lane can disrupt the flow of traffic across several lanes and lead to secondary incidents. The presence of EMS, fire crews, and law enforcement is critical to ensuring victims receive care and that roads are safely cleared.
For those injured in these types of crashes, the aftermath can be overwhelming—between medical treatment, insurance claims, and lost time from work. Access to accurate, timely documentation such as an official accident report is essential to managing these challenges effectively.
