One person is dead following an accident on Interstate 95 southbound in Richmond Tuesday night.

The identity of the person has not been released.

The fatal crash occurred at 7:54 p.m. near the exit 75 interchange for Interstate 64 eastbound, according to Virginia State Police.

The preliminary investigation determined the driver of a Lexus RX330 was traveling south on I-95 when the vehicle sideswiped a Honda Fit. The Lexus then struck the left concrete jersey wall and overturned in the left lane of the interstate.

The driver of the Lexus was not wearing a seatbelt and died at the scene.

Concrete debris from the crash struck at least three vehicles traveling on I-95 northbound.

The crash remains under investigation by Virginia State Police.
