Norfolk Resident Loses Life in Three-Vehicle Collision on HRBT [Norfolk, VA]

A tragic three-vehicle collision on HRBT claimed the life of a 49-year-old Norfolk woman Wednesday afternoon. The incident occurred near the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, leaving the community in shock and mourning the loss.

Tonya D. Hinkle was driving her 2024 Volkswagen Jetta in the left westbound lane of Interstate 64, east of the HRBT entrance, around 2:13 p.m. The accident unfolded when her vehicle collided with the rear of a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. The initial impact caused her car to veer off the road and crash into the jersey wall, which propelled her back into the flow of traffic. Tragically, this resulted in her vehicle striking a 2012 Ford F-150, as reported by the Virginia State Police.

Despite the immediate response from emergency services, Hinkle was transported to a nearby hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. The drivers of the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Ford F-150 sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
