CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- The Virginia Department of Transportation warns drivers that they may experience a major delay in their morning commute on Interstate 95 in both directions due to a multi-vehicle crash in Caroline County. According to VDOT, a multi-vehicle crash took place at mile marker 108 on I-95 northbound and southbound. Drivers can expect major delays in both directions on I-95 near the Carmel Church exit and near the Ladysmith exit. As of 11:30 a.m., VDOT reported that I-95 southbound remains closed with all traffic being detoured at the Ladysmith exit to Route 1 in Caroline County, with a 7-mile backup taking place from the diversion point. According to VDOT, traffic signal timing has been adjusted along the Route 1 corridor in Spotsylvania and Caroline counties to ease congestion. At 6:33 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24, Virginia State Police responded to a crash involving five vehicles, which included a tractor-trailer and a trash truck. State police investigations determined that the tractor-trailer was merging in from a rest area onto I-95, when it collided into a trash truck -- causing a chain reaction type of crash with three other cars, leading to a fire. According to state police, there was only one minor injury reported, which is non-life-threatening. VDOT advises drivers to use an alternative route.
