Virginia State Police are investigating two crashes Wednesday that had closed multiple lanes on Interstate 64 during rush hour.

According to an update from state police spokesperson Sgt. Michelle Anaya, a two-vehicle crash just after 2:30 p.m. in James City County resulted in a fatality. The crash happened at mile marker 233 on I-64 eastbound.

State police are also investigating a second crash involving multiple vehicles near Shell Road in Chesapeake, prompting a closure of all westbound lanes of I-64 earlier Wednesday.

As of at least 8 p.m., lanes on I-64 westbound have reopened, according to traffic cameras and the Virginia Department of Transportation’s real-time traffic map. A tweet from the Hampton Roads District of VDOT said eastbound lanes in James City County have reopened.
