Virginia Beach, VA (January 4, 2026) – One person suffered burn-related injuries in a serious vehicle crash Thursday afternoon on I-64 westbound near the Indian River Rd off-ramp. The collision occurred around 3:59 p.m. and triggered a rapid response from fire and EMS units in Virginia Beach.
Emergency crews were dispatched near exit 284B following reports of a vehicle crash involving fire or heat exposure. Upon arrival, responders located at least one injured party and administered immediate medical assistance. The extent of the burns sustained has not been disclosed, and officials have not confirmed whether the victim required hospital transport or if others were injured in the incident.
The crash happened on January 2 during peak afternoon travel hours, along a congested stretch of I-64 where traffic frequently merges toward Indian River Rd. This area is known for sudden braking and high-speed lane shifts, which may contribute to crash risk—especially during times of elevated volume.
Firefighters and EMS crews remained on scene to assess the wreckage and mitigate any fire danger while authorities conducted an initial investigation. As of this writing, no cause has been determined and the identity of the injured individual has not been made public.
We send our heartfelt wishes to the individual hurt in this crash and hope for a full and smooth recovery.
