NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) - A 23-year-old woman is expected to face charges after being struck by a vehicle while walking across I-64 early Friday morning. According to officials, just before 3 p.m., troopers responded to the eastbound lanes on I-64, near the intersection of Atkinson Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue, for reports of a crash involving a pedestrian. Troopers arrived to the scene and found that the pedestrian, later identified as 23-year-old Lela Evangeline Butler, was suffering from serious non life-threatening injuries in relation to the crash. She was then transported to Riverside Hospital. An investigation revealed the Butler was traveling eastbound along I-64 when she claimed her dog jumped from the vehicle.
