DALE CITY, Va. — One person was flown to a hospital for treatment after being involved in a crash on Interstate 95.
The crash closed all northbound lanes of the highway just after 3 p.m. at Dale City, resulting in a backup for more than eight miles delaying traffic as far south as Stafford County.
Of the two unidentified victims, one was flown to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and the other was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, said Dale City Volunteer Fire Department spokesman Steve Chappell.
Virginia State Police are investigating the incident. Volunteer fire and rescue units from Dale City, Woodbridge, and Dumfries-Triangle were called to the scene.
The highway was reopened to traffic shortly after a helicopter lifted off the ground to take the patient to a hospital. The conditions of the patients have not been released.
Some drivers reported being stuck in Saturday afternoon’s back up on I-95 for more than two hours.
