HAMPTON, Va. - A motorcyclist was airlifted with life-threatening injuries after a three-vehicle crash on I-64 West Sunday night.
According to the Virginia State Police, at 9:02 p.m., contract workers were conducting drain cleaning on the median near the I-664 interchange in Hampton. The contract workers had proper signage and equipment and a crash cushion truck, police said.

Both sides of the interstate were closed for a Nightingale helicopter to land, and the motorcyclist was taken to a local hospital.
No other injuries were reported.
