RICHMOND, Va. β€” One person is dead following a crash on Interstate 95 in Richmond Tuesday evening, according to Virginia State Police.

The crash occurred at approximately 7:54 p.m. on I-95 southbound near the Exit 75 interchange for Interstate 64 eastbound in the City of Richmond.

A 2004 Lexus RX330 was traveling south on I-95 between the 77 and 76 mile markers when witnesses reported the vehicle sideswiped a Honda Fit, struck the left concrete jersey wall, and overturned into the left lane of I-95 southbound prior to Exit 75, a Virginia State Police spokesperson said citing the preliminary investigation.
