The Virginia State Police said 75 vehicles were involved in the Dec. 22 chain-reaction crash near mile maker 239 on Interstate 64 in York County.
That resulted in 51 people injured. The crash shut down that portion of I-64 for more than seven hours.
Authorities said weather and road conditions remain contributing factors.
Emergency dispatchers received the report of the crash around 7:51 a.m. A widening project is ongoing at the site of the wreck. It remains unclear whether the incident caused damage to the bridge.
“At this time it is known that the driver of a 2008 Chevrolet HHR, lost control of the vehicle, and spun out due to black ice before being struck multiple times by other vehicles traveling in the westbound lanes,” Sgt. Michelle Anaya, State Police spokeswoman wrote in an email. “Thick fog contributed to the lack of visibility on the roadway.”
Anaya said the investigation into the crash is ongoing and no charges are pending at this time.
“Upon final completion of the accident report, it will be presented to the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office for final review and determination if charges will be placed,” Anaya said.
