STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. -- A crash involving a tractor-trailer closed Interstate 95 north in Stafford County Sunday morning.

VDOT officials said all lanes were stopped north of Courthouse Road exit 140 for the wreck and an associated medical flight.

"Motorists are advised to expect northbound travel delays in the Fredericksburg area," VDOT officials said. "For northbound travelers approaching from the Richmond area, with destinations north of the Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. area, consider using exit 104 (Carmel Church) to Route 301 northbound as an alternate route."

Traffic was backed up for 3 miles as of 9:55 a.m.

Two lanes of the interstate had reopened by just after 10 a.m. while a single northbound lane remained closed, according to officials.

"Motorists should remain alert and use caution for emergency responders continuing to work at scene. Expect brief residual delays as congestion clears the area," officials said.
