Four people died in the crash.
Virginia State Police reported a fatal crash that occurred on May 30th, leaving four people dead. The accident happened around 3:30 a.m. in Montgomery County on I-81 at mile marker 120.2.
According to the report, a Chevrolet SUV towing a U-haul trailer was traveling north when it lost control and spun out, causing it to be hit by a tractor-trailer also heading north. A second crash took place shortly after.
Tragically, three of the occupants in the Chevrolet SUV died at the scene while another occupant was flown to Roanoke Memorial Hospital but later passed away due to their injuries sustained from the accident. Fortunately, no one was injured during the second collision.
Emergency responders are still working on removing debris and reconstructing the area where both crashes occurred; therefore, roadways remain blocked with detours put in place at exit 118 until further notice.
As of now, there is no word on when authorities expect roads to reopen fully again.
