GOOCHLAND COUNTY, Va. — An overturned truck blocked all lanes of Route 522 in Goochland, near Wood’s Sandy Hook Store (Sandy Hook Road and Whitehall Road), Monday afternoon.

The driver, identified as John C. Gordon, 42, of Glen Allen, suffered serious injuries.
He was flown to VCU Medical Center for treatment.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation and charges were considered pending against the driver.
