RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR)—Major delays on the Powhite Parkway due to a fuel spill covering the road.
A total of five cars wrecked due to separate car accidents, said Gene Lepley with the Richmond Police Department
A petroleum-based oil fell off a vehicle around 3 p.m., said Lepley, just north of the bridge before the Douglasdale split. Three vehicles hit the jersey wall.
There have been no serious injuries, but there was one minor injury. Motorists can expect delays, and as of 5:30 p.m. the section was still shut down.
