A fiery crash on Interstate 95 southbound on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, caused significant delays overnight and into the early morning hours.
According to Virginia State Police spokesman Matthew Demlein, the crash occurred at approximately 12:17 a.m. at the 150-mile marker at Dumfries when a Honda SUV traveling in the right lane slowed and was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer.
The impact of the collision caused a fire to engulf the tractor-trailer, which led to emergency response teams shutting down multiple lanes for several hours.
The driver of the Honda SUV suffered minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital. The tractor-trailer driver was not injured.
Authorities worked through the night to clear the wreckage and assess the damage. Traffic backups stretched for miles as crews battled the flames and removed debris from the scene.
Virginia State Police continue to investigate the incident. No further details have been released at this time.
