Virginia State Police is investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash in Spotsylvania County. The crash occurred Saturday, July 30 at 10:40 p.m. along Route 3 at Market Street, at Central Park.
A 2003 Suzuki motorcycle was traveling west on Route 3 at a high rate of speed in the left lane when it swerved to avoid slower-moving traffic. The motorcycle then collided with a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse traveling westbound in the right lane. The rider was thrown from the motorcycle.
Interstate 95 travelers will see lane closures and full traffic stops overnight this week in the Fredericksburg area at multiple locations, northbound and southbound, between exit 148 (Quantico) in Stafford County and exit 104 (Carmel Church) in Caroline County, for maintenance and construction work.
Crews are building bridges and ramps as part of the future 95 Express Lanes Fredericksburg Extension, while other work zones are needed for inspection of existing I-95 overpasses, and resurfacing travel lanes.
All work is scheduled, weather permitting. Real-time information on work zones and lane closures is available on 511Virginia.
