UPDATE 8 a.m.
Virginia State Police were called to a two-vehicle crash in the northbound lanes of I-95 at the 138 mm in Stafford County that occurred at 11:30 pm. A 2006 Honda CRV was northbound in the left lane when it lost control and ran off the right side of I-95. The Honda then overcorrected and struck a northbound tractor-trailer in the center lane of I-95. The impact caused the tractor-trailer to jackknife and block all three northbound lanes. Meanwhile, the Honda continued on and struck a guardrail before finally coming to rest on the right shoulder.
The crash caused the tractor-trailer’s fuel tank to rupture with approximately 150 gallons of fuel spilling out. Stafford County hazmat crews and VDOT responded to the scene to clean up the spill.
The driver of the Honda, Ahmed Mohammed, 24, of Falls Church, Va., was cited for reckless driving by Trooper M.A. Oliver. Mohammed was transported to Mary Washington Hospital for treatment. A 23-year-old female and 20-year-old male passengers were transported for treatment.
The tractor-trailer driver was not injured in the crash.
