PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, Va. —A crashed tractor-trailer closed Interstate 295 South in Prince George County, Virginia, on Tuesday morning, according to VDOT.

All lanes are open and the scene is clear as of 11:46 a.m.

Photos from the scene showed the tractor-trailer on its side, blocking all travel lanes near the County Road exit — mile marker 3.

"The truck overturned blocking all lanes and was not hauling hazardous materials. There were no other vehicles involved and no injuries are reported," a Virginia State Police spokesperson said. "The driver will be charged with reckless driving. We will be working with VDOT to clean up from the spill and set up detours."
