A driver was killed in a rollover wreck that closed Interstate 64 west just past the Airport Drive exit in Henrico County early Sunday morning.

The two-vehicle crash happened around 4:55 a.m. near mile marker 196 when a Mercedes sedan headed west at a high rate of speed sideswiped the right rear side of a Chevrolet SUV, according to a spokesperson for Virginia State Police.

"After the impact, the Mercedes overturned and came to rest on its roof in the middle lane," officials said.

The driver of the Mercedes, 27-year-old Tameecha F. Chambliss of Richmond, died at the scene, according to troopers. She was not wearing a seat belt, investigators said.
