Updated from Virginia State Police:
At 5:33 p.m., Monday (June 6), Virginia State Police Trooper J.P. Kletzke was called to the report of a plane crash near Interstate 95 in Stafford County.
A single-seat, experimental aircraft was conducting a high-speed taxi on the runway of the Stafford Regional Airport, when the aircraft unintentionally lifted off the runway. The aircraft cleared the Centreport Parkway before crash-landing into an embankment alongside the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 at the 137 mile marker.
The pilot, Roberta A. Boucher, 62, of Fredericksburg, Va., survived the crash and was transported to Mary Washington Hospital for treatment of serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
The FAA is responding to the scene. The NTSB was also notified. The crash investigation by state police remains ongoing at this time.
