HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — A tractor-trailer driver was charged following a crash on the ramp from Interstate 295 southbound to Interstate 64 Eastbound (28A Exit) in eastern Henrico, according to Virginia State Police.

The crash was reported at about 1:47 p.m. on July 26, 2022.

"Upon arrival, the troopers observed a 2020 Freightliner that had overturned and was blocking the entire ramp," a Virginia State Police spokesperson wrote in an email. "The driver was operating his tractor-trailer at speeds too fast for the exit ramp. As a result, the tractor-trailer began to skid and struck the jersey wall causing the vehicle to overturn."
