HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — A wreck involving an overturned camper caused major backups Friday afternoon on I-95 north in Hanover County.

Sgt. Steve Vick said a pickup truck pulling a camper overturned just before 2:05 p.m. about two miles north of E. Patrick Henry Road/Route 54 (near mile marker 94).

As a result, the interstate’s right and center lanes were closed.

Officials said traffic was getting via the left lane, but that there was a nine-mile backup as of 4:30 p.m.

All lanes reopened and the backup was clear at 7:40 p.m.

There were non-life threatening injuries associated with the crash, Vick said.

Drivers were warned to expect delays.
