CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- Icy roads were considered a factor in Thursday morning crashes on Powhite Parkway (Route 76) near Jahnke Road in Chesterfield, according to Virginia State Police.
"[The driver of a] 2001 Chevrolet Silverado traveling south attempted to avoid vehicles that were stopped ahead of him," a Virginia State Police spokesperson wrote in an email about the crash.
