Three people were injured following a five-vehicle crash early Sunday morning on U.S. Route 58 westbound near the weigh station.

Suffolk Police and Suffolk Fire & Rescue units responded to the scene just before 5 a.m. and found five vehicles in the road, most with heavy damage, according to a news release. The three people who were injured were taken to local hospitals, with one of the people deemed to have potentially life-threatening injuries.

The road was closed for a period of time following the accident, but all travel lanes on the affected parts of the road have since been reopened.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
