RICHMOND, VA— Exit 76A on I-95 north has reopened after an overturned tractor trailer shutdown traffic early Wednesday morning.
The I-95 northbound exit ramp to the Downtown Expressway was closed after an overnight accident involving a tractor trailer blocked the exit, according to VDOT officials.
The single-vehicle accident happened at approximately 10:45 p.m. Tuesday after the driver of a dual trailer lost control of the vehicle and struck the jersey wall, according to police.
The truck's second trailer overturned during the wreck, police said.
The driver of the truck, Wiley F. Venable Jr., 56, of Midlothian, was not injured in the wreck, according to authorities.
Venable Jr. has been charged with reckless driving. Police said speed was considered a factor in the wreck.
The exit ramp remained closed early Wednesday morning as crews worked to clear the scene.
The incident remains under investigation.
