RICHMOND, Va. — The winter storm that dropped snow and ice on Virginia over the weekend continues to cause hazardous driving conditions Monday.
The Virginia State Police ask drivers to stay off the roads as VDOT is in the process of making its way to the secondary and subdivision roads.
"If you are on the roads, give VDOT trucks and emergency crews room to do their jobs. Also understand that storm impacts could delay emergency response to stranded motorists," VSP said.
Virginia State Police reported a total of 506 crashes statewide since the storm began. Those crashes resulted in 38 injuries, police said.
State police have responded to two fatal crashes. One happened in Fairfax County, though investigators do not believe the weather was a factor. The other took place in Pittsylvania County on Sunday evening.
The crashes were spread across all seven divisions, with Hampton Roads reporting the highest number.
Crash Statistics by Division:
- Division 1 (Central Va./Richmond) – 108 crashes, 4 with injuries
- Division 2 (Northwest Va./Winchester/Harrisonburg) – 43 crashes, 4 with injuries
- Division 3 (Central/Western Va./Appomattox) – 51 crashes, 7 with injuries
