RICHMOND, Va. -- The driver of a pickup hit several other vehicles along Interstate 95 north before crashing through a guardrail and landing on Arthur Ashe Boulevard Sunday afternoon, according to officials with Virginia State Police.

Sgt. Dylan Davenport said troopers were called to the crash just before 4 p.m.

"The investigation indicates that a pickup truck traveling north struck four vehicles before running off the road to the right, through guardrail, and then landing on Arthur Ashe Boulevard and catching fire," Davenport wrote.

The driver of the pickup, along with several others people in the other vehicles, were taken to an area hospital, Davenport said.

None of their injuries appeared to be life-threatening, according to Davenport.
