VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Virginia Beach Boulevard was closed between Birdneck Road and Oceana Boulevard due to a crash, according to Virginia Beach Police.

At 9:30 p.m. the road was reopened.

Police say one person was transported to the hospital but their injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.

The crash caused significant damage to a power pole and Dominion Virginia Power crews are at the scene assessing the situation.
