CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — The Virginia Department of Transportation warns drivers that they may experience a major delay in their morning commute on Interstate 95 in both directions due to a multi-vehicle crash in Caroline County.

According to VDOT, a multi-vehicle crash took place at the mile marker 108 on I-95 northbound and southbound.

Drivers can expect major delays in both directions on I-95 near the Carmel Church exit and near the Ladysmith exit. Traffic is currently backed up 2.5 miles.

At 6:33 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24, Virginia State Police responded to a crash involving five vehicles, which included a tractor-trailer and a trash truck.

State police investigations determined that the tractor-trailer was merging in from a rest area onto I-95, when it collided into a trash truck — causing a chain reaction type of crash with tree other cars, leading to a fire.

According to state police, there was only one minor injury reported, which is non-life-threatening.
