STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Congested roadways in Stafford County this morning lead to students on school buses being late to class.
The county school division put out a notice to social media followers on Facebook:
Due to the traffic congestion on I95 and the overflow on county roads, our school buses are unable to get through the county and are delayed. Please be patient as our bus drivers work through their routes. Their job is to get your child safely to school! And take an umbrella to the bus stop with you–we’re having April showers today too!
The Virginia Department of Transportation reported a crash on Interstate 95 north near Dumfries about 6 a.m. When crews closed two lanes of traffic to respond to the crash, traffic backed apparently backed up in Stafford County.
It’s unclear how many buses and students were late to class this morning.
