CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — A dump truck accident has closed the right lane and shoulder of northbound Route 288 near the ramp to Ironbridge Road Thursday afternoon.

A dump truck spilled “bile material” onto the roadway around 3:25 p.m., according to Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Steve Vick.

As a result of the spill, Vick said three vehicles slid and crashed.

Officials said those vehicles suffered minor damage, but that no one was injured.
