An over-turned box truck tied up traffic along the southbound lanes of U.S. 29 in Nelson County for two hours this morning.
The accident occurred between Rockfish River Road and Laurel Hill Lane, just north of Wood’s Mill.
Virginia State Police Trooper Hunter Birckhead said wet road conditions
and low traction on the truck’s back tires caused the truck to
hydroplane before overturning in the right lane. No other vehicles were
involved in the accident.
Arlom Gustav Marquez, 29, of Fairfax, was the driver of the truck.
He was transported to UVa Medical Center with minor injuries and
released, Birckhead said.
Marquez was transporting a small amount of frozen food. He will be
charged with reckless driving and defective equipment, Birckhead said.
