I-95 SB Closed Near Exit 41 After Crash at MM 37.5 [Prince George VA]

Traffic came to a standstill Tuesday morning as I-95 SB closed near Exit 41 after a crash at MM 37.5, prompting emergency response and a full shutdown of all southbound lanes at mile marker 41.2. The closure is in the area of Exit 41, which connects to Routes 35, 156, and 301, significantly disrupting traffic flow for morning commuters and commercial drivers alike.

According to authorities, the crash occurred earlier in the day near mile marker 37.5, though details about the number of vehicles involved or the extent of injuries remain limited. Emergency responders, including Virginia State Police and local fire and rescue teams, arrived at the scene quickly to assist victims and clear the roadway. Tow trucks were called in to remove the damaged vehicles, while traffic was diverted to alternate routes, causing delays stretching several miles back.

Motorists are being advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes as clean-up and investigation efforts continue. There is no estimated time for reopening the southbound lanes at this time, as crews work to clear debris and determine the cause of the accident.

For those affected by this crash, especially individuals who sustained injuries or damage to their vehicles, it’s important to understand their rights and legal options.
