Hydroplaning named as cause of I-95 in Spotsylvania crash

Three people were hurt in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 in Spotsylvania County on the morning of December 2. The crash happened around 8:54 a.m. on the southbound side of the highway near the 120-mile marker, according to Virginia State Police.

Investigators say the crash started when a Nissan Kicks hydroplaned on wet pavement and struck a guardrail. The Kicks then spun out and collided with a Toyota Highlander, which was subsequently hit by a tractor-trailer.

Two passengers in the Highlander were injured, including one who sustained serious injuries. A person in the Kicks also suffered minor injuries.

State police are continuing to investigate the incident.
