NORFOLK, Va. - The Virginia State Police is investigating two vehicle crashes at the entrance to the westbound tube of the Downtown Tunnel.

The driver and two children passengers of a gold SUV were transported with non-life threatening injuries. The second crash being worked also involves two SUVs with no injuries.

The secondary crash was a result of traffic coming to an emergency stop after the tractor trailer became stuck, reports say.

The westbound tube will remain closed for a currently undetermined amount of time.
