Roberts is investigating a crash that occurred at 4:42 a.m. on Interstate 95 northbound at the 136-mile marker when a collision occurred between a blue in color 2022 Freightliner tractor-trailer, a black in color 2014 Nissan Altima, and a red in color 2010 Subaru Forrester.”

“Congestion currently begins near exit 130 (Route 3) in Fredericksburg. Check 511Virginia.org for updates on traffic and lane closure status.”

Update 7:21 a.m. — “At 4:42 a.m., Virginia State Police responded to a three-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer on Interstate 95 northbound at the 136-mile marker in Stafford County. There are two confirmed fatalities and one injury as a result of the crash. The northbound travel lanes are currently shut down. VDOT is on the scene assisting with the roadway closure and detour.”

Original post: Virginia Department of Transportation: “Interstate 95 northbound is closed at exit 136 (Centreport Parkway) in Stafford County for a multi-vehicle crash involving an overturned tractor-trailer. I-95 northbound travelers in the Fredericksburg area can expect major travel delays during the morning rush due to the closure, both on the interstate and along the alternate route, Route 1 northbound.”

“Northbound I-95 traffic is being detoured to Route 1 at exit 136 (Centreport Parkway). Northbound through travelers with destinations beyond the Washington, D.C., area, are encouraged to seek additional alternate routes to avoid delay, including using I-95 exit 104 (Carmel Church) in Caroline County to Route 207 eastbound to Route 301 northbound.”
