ORIGINAL STORY
If you’re driving west on I-64 Tuesday morning, expect delays.
According to VDOT, as of 7:01 a.m., a tractor-trailer crash at the 23.8 mile marker in the Clifton Forge area is blocking the left lane.
“Recovery may take a while. The truck took out some of the cable barrier,” said Ken Slack from the VDOT Staunton district.
In addition to this, there were also two earlier crashes on 1-64 in Allgehany, another single-vehicle crash on eastbound I-64 in Covington, then one in Rockbridge County. All of these crashes have been cleared, according to authorities.
“We mobilized for the forecast snow and freezing rain, mostly the latter in Alleghany and Rockbridge,” said Slack. “Our crews spread salt, and sometimes a mix of salt and abrasives to improve traction.”
