WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — A pileup involving more than 60 cars on a major interstate in Virginia on Sunday morning injured dozens of people, some critically, according to state police.
The accident happened just before 8 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 64 in York County near Williamsburg and for a time shut down traffic in both directions, Virginia State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya said in a statement.
The agency tweeted that there was fog and ice along a bridge when what was described as a chain-reaction wreck began.
Photos from the scene showed a tangled mass of metal, with car hoods crumpled, windows smashed and a red truck plopped on top of another vehicle. read more
been along that stretch of road many times … it’s a hi-speed free-for-all in the best of circumstances … within a 10-12 mile span 2 lanes going into 4 lanes, going into right-side 5th merge lanes, into ‘left lane ending’, into ‘2-right lanes turning’, into 4 lanes, then back to 5 lanes, into a ‘2-left lanes going into tunnel’, w/ a ‘no-return after this exit on right’, squeezing back down to 2 lanes … all the while going nominally 75 mph … just to keep up w/ the flow
… they actually have gates on exit & entrance ramps … so far, haven’t seen any that are closed … but have seen many closed, once you get through the tunnel … that’s another story
CNN is reporting the crashes and the injuries are because Donald Trump is racist.
When stationed in Maryland I used to travel 270 every day. Getting closer to Bethesda, there is a curve on the highway that, at the same time every morning the sun hit at just the right (wrong) angle for visibility issues, and traffic came to a standstill there many days. We were probably the lucky ones.
God help them, it’s awful.
Drove that stretch many times. If there is an issue, there is no outlet. Cars would be like in a pin ball game
If this was a case of assault style fog, I’m on it!
It was probably a task force of keystone cops sent by Gov Blackface to confiscate guns from sanctuary cities!
I’ll take 460 and deal with the small towns before I will choose 64….. It has been a clusterfuck for years.

Would this be democratic traffic control?
