HAMPTON, Va. — All eastbound lanes of I-64 in Hampton were temporarily closed Sunday night after nearly a dozen vehicles were involved in a series of crashes near Settlers Landing Road.

News 3 first heard about the incident a little after 8 p.m. and reached out to Virginia State Police for more information. At the time, a spokesperson confirmed that 11 vehicles were involved and at least two people were injured.

Monday morning, News 3 reached out again and learned the incident was actually four separate crashes that happened in the same area around 7:45 p.m. State Police say the cause of the crashes is still under investigation, though it happened as a line of sleet moved through the area following Sunday's winter storm.

The two injuries are considered not to be life-threatening.

The eastbound lanes in the area were all shut down for more than an hour. State Police say it took roughly two-and-a-half hours to get all lanes reopened.
