Suffolk, Va. – Police are investigating after a head-on collision shut down the Mills E. Godwin Bridge for over an hour early Saturday morning.

The crash happened just after 4 a.m. in the 2200 block of Bridge Road on the Mills E. Godwin Bridge.

The two vehicles, a Toyota Camry and a Dodge Charger crashed, trapping both drivers in their vehicles.

Suffolk Fire & Rescue extricated the drives and they were transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

It took crews close to two hours to remove the vehicles and debris from the roadway.

The cause remains under investigation.
