3 Crashes Snarl Traffic, Motorcyclist Left Seriously Injured

Noon 

The victim in an early morning crash on Interstate 95 remains unidentified this lunchtime as police try to reach his family.

The crash happened at 5:45 a.m. on the northbound lanes of I-95 at mile post 148 at Quantico in Stafford County, where a 2007 Chrysler station wagon failed to stop in time and rear-ended and a 2012 Honda that has stopped for congested traffic.

Then, a 2009 Harley-Davidson motorcycle rear-ended the station wagon, and the impact caused the cyclist to slide into another car, and was thrown from the bike in the opposite direction where he collided with a tractor-trailer, said Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.

Then, to avoid the motorcyclist, three cars collided in the northbound lanes causing a third crash, said Geller.

The only person injured was the motorcyclist, who was flown to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Sandra T. Wilson, 47, of Ruther Glen, was the driver of the station wagon and was charged with following too closely, said Geller.

The lanes were reopened to traffic by 7 a.m.

QUANTICO, Va. — All lanes of Interstate 95 are reopened at mile post 148 at Quantico following a multi-vehicle crash this morning.

Police said the crash happened at 5:45 a.m. on the northbound lanes of the highway. A medical helicopter was called to fly one victim suffering life threatening injuries to a hospital. All of the northbound lanes were closed following the crash.

No details on what caused the crash, or who was involved have been released by police. Drivers should expect delays on I-95 this morning.

This incident follows a fatal crash on Tuesday that took the life of a Dumfries man riding his motorcycle. In that crash, the motorcyclist crashed and then was struck by a tractor-trailer. The driver of the truck did not stop and police asked anyone who many have more information about the truck to come forward.
