SURRY COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) – A tractor-trailer crash shut down Route 10 in Surry County Monday for almost six hours.
According to Virginia State Police, the call for the single-vehicle crash came in around 5 p.m. at Colonial Trail West (Route 10), east of Cabin Point Road (Route 613).
VSP says a preliminary investigation showed that a 2007 International Tractor-Trailer was driving on Colonial Trail West when it ran off the road, overturned, and hit two utility poles.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, 52-year-old Vincent Thomas, suffered minor injuries and was treated on the scene. Thomas has been charged with reckless driving/failure to maintain control of a vehicle.
Police say the tractor-trailer was removed from the road around 8:15 p.m. and after fixing the utility poles, the road was reopened just before 11:30 p.m. The logs the tractor-trailer was carrying are still on the scene, but officials say they are planning to remove them Tuesday.
