(The Center Square) – A third-party review commissioned by former Gov. Ralph Northam found the government failed to adequately prepare for and failed to properly communicate during a January snowstorm that led to hundreds of cars being stranded on I-95 for more than 24 hours.
The large snowstorm that hit the commonwealth Jan. 3 brought more than 14 inches of snow to some areas. Although the state urged drivers to stay off of the roadways, hundreds were stuck on an I-95 backup for more than a day, which led local authorities to distribute food and supplies to stranded drivers, but the national guard was never called to help.
