30 Vehicles Involved in West Virginia Turnpike Pileup

Posted on Jan 06, 2012

January 6, 2012 – Beckley, W.Va. – The split between Interstate 64 and Interstate 77 on the West Virginia Turnpike was clogged for hours on Monday, January 2, after a 30-vehicle pileup.

WSAZ NewsChannel 3 had crews on the scene following the mid-afternoon accident that involved multiple vehicles in a chain-reaction crash. The northbound lanes of the 2 interstate highways caused a serious traffic backup for several hours in theBeckley area.

Emergency crews worked quickly to clear the damaged vehicles from the roadways and had to shut down a northbound lane completely during the process. No serious injuries were reported and the lanes were eventually reopened to normal traffic flow by 5 p.m.

Multiple vehicle crashes are often the cause of serious or fatal injuries. Hazardous weather conditions can often contribute to these pileups, especially during the winter months where icy roads and low visibility in snowstorms can lead to distracted drivers. If another drivers’ negligence causes your car accident, seek help from a West Virginia accident attorney.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2009 West Virginia Crash Statistics show that there were 356 fatalities as a result of car accidents in West Virginia.
