Accident on I-95 Slows Afternoon Commute

Bail out before the Prince William Parkway exit if you can.

Posted by Lauren Jost, June 19, 2012 at 08:14 pm

An overturned car in the southbound roadway on Interstate 95 at mile marker 158 has caused traffic to back up for miles.

Virginia Department of Transportation's shows traffic is backed up for seven miles. Patch reader Michelle Hemphill-Meeks said traffic was stopped in all lanes just after 3:30 p.m. due to the accident.

"Motorists can expect major delays due to a vehicle accident. The south right lane and right shoulder are closed," reads a VDOT alert.

As Earnie said, Dave and Sarah have developed a diverse and interesting menu, with some pleasant surprise offerings, the prices are reasonable and they're going to be open seven days a week for breakfast to dinner, something many other Occoquan restaurants don't do. Give them a try, and tell them Chuck the Foodie sent you.
