HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Virginia State Police are investigating a fatal multi-vehicle crash on I-95 Northbound at the 81.5-mile marker Thursday afternoon.

Elisabeth Mary Rumford, 28, of Richmond, crashed into the rear of a Ram 3500 service truck that was stopped in traffic. That vehicle was then pushed into a Ford pickup truck.

State Police say Rumford was driving in the left lane, and failed to notice traffic slowing due to a vehicle fire further north.

Rumford died from her injuries at the scene. The driver of the service truck suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital. The driver of the pickup truck was uninjured.

The crash closed northbound lanes near the Route 1 exit (mile marker 81) for a few hours.

The crash remains under investigation.
