Virginia State Police reported that the incident occurred around 4:54 a.m. near mile marker 196, just beyond the Airport Drive exit. Chambliss was driving a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C250 at a high rate of speed when it struck the right rear side of a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox.

Her passenger, 27-year-old Alexandria Telisha Gamble, also from Richmond, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment.

The driver of the Equinox, identified as 46-year-old Miguel Andres Munive Rangel of Doswell, was also hospitalized with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Authorities confirmed the crash is still under investigation. Westbound lanes of I-64 were closed for an extended period as the Virginia State Police Crash Reconstruction Team worked on the scene.
