CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- Three tractor-trailers, a U-Haul truck, and two passengers vehicles crashed during Thursday morning's snowfall on Interstate 295 in Chester.

"Troopers are on scene with two separated multi-vehicle crashes involving three Tractor Trailers, a U haul, and two passenger vehicles at southbound Interstate 295 at the 15 mile marker that occurred approximately 8:40 a.m. in Chesterfield County," Virginia State Police Sgt. Keeli Hill. "Preliminary investigation reveals the first crash involved the U haul and the two passenger vehicles.
