Troopers work nearly 300 crashes across Virginia as parts of state hit with more snow

RICHMOND, Va. — Nearly 300 crashes have been reported across Virginia as troopers work during another weekend winter storm, which mostly impacted the southern part of the Commonwealth on Saturday.

Officials warned that VDOT crews are still working to clear ice and snow-covered secondary and subdivision roads from last weekend's storm.

"If you must drive, clear vehicles of all ice and snow prior to getting on the roadways and give VDOT trucks and emergency crews room to do their jobs," officials said. "Also understand that storm impacts could delay emergency response to stranded motorists."

Since the storm began Friday morning, state police have responded to 289 total wrecks. While 29 of those crashes involved injuries, officials said that not all crashes are storm-related.

One fatal crash was reported in Northern Virginia, but police said the storm was not a factor in that wreck.
