A tractor trailer carrying a load of cherry tomatoes crashed about 5 a.m. Saturday.
Emergency crews were called to the crash scene on Interstate 95 north, just north of Garrisonville Road. The truck slammed into a crash attenuator, filled with hardened foam, just prior to a series of concrete barriers on the right shoulder.
The trailer ripped in two. The back end remained at the crash attenuator, and the rest of the truck continued north for about 50 yards before coming to rest. The truck came to rest behind the Aquia Pines campground in North Stafford.
No one was injured in the crash. A man who identified himself as the driver stood outside the crash scene talking with Virginia State Police, the agency that was on the scene investigating the crash.
About 75 gallons of fuel spilled from one of the truck’s tanks. Highway crews used sand to absorb the fuel.
At 8 a.m., traffic was getting by the crash in the left lane.
Several boxes of cherry tomatoes speckled the snow-covered roadside. The truck is owned and operated by Leroy Butler, of Jacksonville, N.C.
Drivers on I-95 north sat in delays for about a mile south of the crash scene, to about Courthouse Road.
