Virginia State Police are on scene of a three-vehicle crash that occurred around 1:04 pm, 95 NB at mile marker 79.

Authorities said that a Chevrolet Malibu made a lane change into the path of a north bound Harley Davidson motorcycle, which caused the driver to be thrown from the bike onto I-95. The Chevrolet began to spin and was struck by a tractor trailer.

The motorcycle continued north for about three-tenths of a mile before crashing into the guardrail.
