CHESAPEAKE, Va. - A crash in Chesapeake has caused over 2,000 outages for Dominion Energy customers.

Police say around 12:43 p.m. they responded to the 1000 block of Volvo Parkway for a report of a crash.

When police arrived on scene they learned that an SUV was traveling from Kempsville Road towards Greenbrier Parkway when a vehicle made a left turn in front of it.
