Update 12:20 p.m. 

A woman from Bronx, N.Y. was killed this morning in a crash on Interstate 95 north.

Here’s more from Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller:

At 5:27 a.m., Tuesday (October 8, 2013), Virginia State Police were called to a multi-vehicle crash in the northbound lanes of I-95 at the 135 mile marker in Stafford County.

A 2004 Mercury sedan was traveling south on Interstate 95 when it ran off the left side of the highway. The car crossed through the median, struck an embankment, and continued into the northbound lanes of I-95 where it struck a 2010 Toyota sedan. The Toyota subsequently collided with a northbound 2008 Chevrolet HHR and then a northbound 2013 two-axle box truck.

The driver of the Mercury, Ty Shaun L. Holloway, 20, of Hampton, Va., was transported to Stafford Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. His passenger, Dejonniza Q. White, 20, of Bronx, N.Y., died at the scene.

The driver of the Toyota, David J. Schwartz, 36, of Fredericksburg, Va., was transported to Stafford Hospital and has already been treated and released.

The drivers of the Chevrolet and box truck were not injured in the crash.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Holloway has been charged with reckless driving.
