HAMPTON, Va. -- State police have released the name of a Chesterfield woman killed after her car was rear-ended after she broke down on Interstate 64 in Hampton Saturday evening.

Sgt. Michelle Anaya with Virginia State Police said troopers received a call about a sedan driving slowly in the second lane of I-64 west of Mercury Boulevard just after 7:35 p.m.

"Less than a minute later, the Communications Center received another call of a two-vehicle accident... east of Magruder Boulevard," Anaya said.

Officials said 20-year-old Keira M. Reese-Johnson's car was rear-ended by an SUV after it broke down and stopped in the travel lane.

Reese-Johnson, of the 6900 block of Lake Caroline Drive in Chesterfield, was critically injured and taken to Riverside Regional Hospital where she died of her injuries, Anaya said.

Troopers said an 11-year-old child in the SUV was also transported to the hospital.
