NASSAWADOX, Va. — Drivers heading south on U.S. 13 on the Eastern Shore Friday morning had to take a detour at Nassawadox because of a crash.
A few minutes before 5 a.m., a tractor trailer driven by a 60-year-old Spotsylvania man pulled over to the side of U.S. 13, but Sgt. Michelle Anaya with the Virginia State Police said he didn't realize how narrow the road's shoulder was.
The truck, carrying 40,000 pounds of apple juice, overturned in the ditch just north of Bayford Road. Nobody was hurt in the crash.
The tractor trailer's driver was charged with Failure to Maintain Lane.
At 10:30 a.m., the road was still closed for the truck, and VDOT was still directing cars to detour from Rogers Drive around the scene to Bayford Road.
South of Bayford Road, cars can travel normally.
