Thousands of people were trapped in their vehicles for hours along a nearly 50-mile (80-km) stretch of Interstate 95 in Virginia after a storm dumped up to a foot (30 cm) of snow, forcing the highway to close, officials said on Tuesday.
I-95, a major north-south thoroughfare on the East Coast, was closed in both directions near Fredricksburg, about 55 miles south of Washington, the Virginia Department of Transportation said.
"Good morning from I-95 in Virginia where I have been trapped in my car for more than 20 hours," Jim DeFede, a reporter with CBS 4 Miami, tweeted just after dawn. "I’m not sure but I think I now qualify for Virginia residency." State and local emergency personnel worked through the morning and into the afternoon to clear downed trees, assist disabled vehicles and reroute drivers, Governor Ralph Northam said on Tuesday.
"This is insane. Nothing is being done, 911 isn’t much help, neither is Virginia state police. And the state has yet to contact National Guard. Insane," wrote one Twitter user who claimed to have been stuck on I-95 south for hours.The U.S. Department of Transportation posted a Twitter message saying it was ready to help the state reopen the highway and assist motorists.
