VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A motorcyclist, who Virginia State Police say tried to get away from state troopers, was seriously injured after crashing into another car on I-264 in Virginia Beach Monday night.
The crash closed all eastbound lanes, causing a major traffic backup that had people stuck in traffic for at least an hour.
State police said they tried to pull over the driver of a black 2009 Suzuki motorcycle heading eastbound on I-264 near the Witchduck Road exit around 8:18 p.m. for an improper display of registration.
The motorcyclist sped up and tried to get away from police, causing him to crash into the back of a 2023 Nissan Rogue, state police explained. The motorcyclist was taken to Virginia Beach General with serious injuries.
The crash is still under investigation.
