Frozen-Chicken Truck Overturns on I-664 [NEWPORT NEWS, VA]

Frozen-Chicken Truck Overturns on I-664, leaving roadways littered with debris but miraculously avoiding any hazardous spill, according to Virginia State Police. The incident unfolded Monday evening when the driver of a 2018 International tractor-trailer, identified as Ali Ali of Henrico, lost control while navigating the 26th and 27th Street exit ramp on I-664 southbound in Newport News.

State Police reports indicate that excessive speed caused the rig to veer off the mainline and topple onto its side. Thankfully, although the trailer was fully loaded with frozen poultry, no hazardous materials were involved, and the cold cargo posed no environmental threat. First responders arrived quickly on the scene, securing the area and rerouting traffic. By 6:29 p.m., all southbound lanes had been cleared and reopened, minimizing commuter delays.

While eyewitnesses described the crash as “jarring” and “unnerving,” preliminary information suggests that the driver sustained only minor injuries and was evaluated on-site by paramedics before being released. No other vehicles were involved, and there were no reports of injuries to passing motorists or first responders.

Nevertheless, accidents of this nature can have lasting consequences that extend beyond physical harm. Victims—whether the truck driver, other motorists, or bystanders—may face medical bills, vehicle repair costs, lost wages from missed work, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In such cases, it’s crucial to understand your legal rights and the types of compensation available:

• Medical Expenses: Coverage for treatment, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and any future medical needs related to the crash.

• Lost Income: Reimbursement for wages or business income lost while recovering from injuries.

• Property Damage: Compensation to repair or replace damaged vehicles and personal belongings.

• Pain and Suffering: Awards for physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
