[Updated 11 a.m.] All lanes on I-95 southbound near exit 136 (Centreport Parkway) in Stafford County are now open and the detour has been lifted following the crash.
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, southbound travelers may experience residual delays on I-95, Route 1 and arterial routes.
At 8:32 a.m., a tractor-trailer traveling southbound on I-95 ran off of the right side of the roadway and collided with a guard rail. The impact caused the tractor-trailer to overturn and catch fire, said Virignia State Police Sgt. Brent Coffey.
Emergency crews called a helicopter to take the victim to a hospital. Crews cleared the helicopter to land on the highway.
The driver suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash. The county’s sheriff’s office is helping to divert traffic from the highway at milepost 136, near the airport.
