2-year-old dies following crash on I-64 in Hampton
HAMPTON — A 2-year-old boy died from injuries sustained in a vehicle crash last week on Interstate 64 westbound near the Interstate 664 interchange in a work zone. Virginia State Police said at 8:35 p.m. on July 30 a Chevrolet Cruze, whose driver was later charged with following too closely, struck the rear of a Toyota Sienna, causing the Sienna to spin out and strike a Honda Accord. The Sienna ran off of the road's left side and struck a jersey wall barrier, the Cruze ran off the road's right side and struck a guard rail and the Accord remained in the travel lanes. The boy, who state police said was properly restrained, was taken to a hospital but died from his injuries.
