Drivers have been stuck on Interstate 95 in the Stafford County, Virginia, area for more than 15 hours after multiple trucks crashed amid a major snowstorm that left snow and ice packed onto the road.
The governor resisted calls from social media users, including TV personality and author Meghan McCain, to deploy the National Guard.
Del. Todd Gilbert, who will soon become speaker of Virginia’s House of Delegates, is among those calling for Northam to mobilize the National Guard to rescue drivers. As of midday Tuesday, southbound traffic was at a standstill and northbound traffic had begun to creep forward.
