RICHMOND, Va. β One truck driver was hurt in a crash that involved a box truck and a tractor-trailer that closed multiple southbound and northbound lanes on Interstate 95 near the Belvidere Street exit in downtown Richmond (near mile marker 76).
Images from the scene showed a crashed truck in the median of the interstate.
"Preliminary information indicates a box truck struck the center Jersey wall and came to rest against it. The tractor-trailer overturned as a result of the crash," a Virginia State Police spokesperson said. "The tractor-trailer was transporting approximately 40,000 pounds of steel or aluminum beams, which were spilled across all southbound lanes."
The crash was reported at about 6:39 a.m.
Southbound lanes remained closed through the morning rush hour as crews cleared the roadway and safely remove the spilled cargo.
