Multiple traffic accidents kept the Virginia Department of Transportation, local and State Police busy yesterday. The accidents were being blamed on the snowy conditions along Route 95 near Dale City, Virginia. However, driver error was also to blame, as drivers continued to drive too fast for conditions and follow too closely to the vehicle ahead of them.
One major accident was caused by a truck/tractor trailer accident in the southbound lanes of 95. This accident caused a chain reaction. In the end, the initial two-vehicle crash lead to a 52 vehicle collision in which four semis were involved, along with two other commercial vehicles. There were no deaths reported but ten motorists were taken to area hospitals.
Near the Dale City rest area another serious, but not deadly, accident was reported. The involved motorists suffered only minor injuries.
Though the snow, which reached one to two inches in parts of the state, finished by midmorning, ice and slippery conditions will continue to be a threat this week and throughout the winter.
The personal injury attorneys at Tavss Fletcher encourage you to slow down whenever slippery conditions exist. This simple step can help you avoid an accident and maybe even save a life.
