CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- A crash that closed Route 288 South, near Midlothian Turnpike, in Chesterfield County Friday morning downed a power told and sparked a small brush fire.
"Traffic is being directed from VA-288 South to Route 7225 (Watkins Center Parkway) to return to VA-288 South. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid delays," a VDOT spokesperson wrote in an email.
Troopers were called to the wreck near the Route 60 overpass just before 11:30 a.m. after a semi truck and an SUV collided in and a utility pole was hit, according to Corinne Geller with Virginia State Police.
"The active utility lines sparked a fire in the grass," Geller said.
No one was injured in the wreck, officials said.
VDOT officials said all lanes had reopened and that the scene was clear as of 2:30 p.m.
