HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) – Virginia State Police responded to a single-vehicle crash at the HRBT that left someone with life-threatening injuries Thursday morning.

Police said the incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. inside the westbound side of the HRBT.

According to officials, the driver of a 2017 Lexus SUV, later identified as 22-year-old Trinity Iris Downs, was traveling westbound when she lost control of the vehicle, crashing into the jersey wall.

Downs was then transferred to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police said charges are pending.

Photos from the scene show the front-end damage to the SUV inside of the tunnel.
