RICHMOND, Va. -- Traffic on Interstate 64 east of Williamsburg is backed up in both directions with about 25 incidents along a roughly 12-mile stretch, according to Virginia State Police.
The two-way traffic jam between Williamsburg and Newport News was not caused by a multivehicle pileup, even though it looks like that was the case, said state police Sgt. Michelle A. Cotten
"It looks like one big accident, but that part right there is nothing but woods," Cotten said. "There's nowhere to go."
Vehicles are pulling off the interstate onto the shoulders, Cotten said. "They're in a hurry to get nowhere fast" and blocking the way for emergency-response vehicles, she said.
Cotten said the 25 incidents along that stretch of I-64 include both wrecks and reports of disabled vehicles.
