Richmond’s I-95 South Temporarily Shut Down After Multi-Vehicle Wreck

Richmond’s I-95 South temporarily shut down after a multi-vehicle wreck caused major traffic disruptions late Saturday night. The crash occurred at approximately 11:15 p.m. on April 5, near Maury Street, prompting a swift response from emergency services and transportation authorities. According to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), all lanes of I-95 South were closed by 11:25 p.m. as crews arrived to assess the situation and begin clearing the roadway.

The incident involved several vehicles, though officials have not yet released specific details regarding the number of people involved or the extent of injuries. First responders quickly took control of the scene, working diligently to remove debris, assist victims, and restore traffic flow as safely and efficiently as possible.

Motorists traveling through the Richmond area were urged to seek alternate routes to avoid the delays caused by the closure. The temporary shutdown caused a significant backup, especially with many drivers heading home or traveling late into the night.

By 12:17 a.m. on Sunday, April 6, VDOT confirmed that all lanes of I-95 South had been reopened, and normal traffic flow had resumed. However, the aftermath of the crash left many questions unanswered, particularly for the individuals involved in the collision.

The Compensation Victims May Be Entitled To

When accidents of this nature occur, victims may be entitled to compensation depending on the circumstances of the crash. Those injured in a multi-vehicle accident can typically seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and even long-term rehabilitation costs. In some cases, victims may also be eligible for emotional distress compensation or loss of consortium claims for family members.

Insurance companies, however, may not always act in the best interest of injured parties. That’s why it’s critical to work with attorneys who understand how to navigate the complexities of multi-vehicle accident claims.
