3 Dead After Accidents on I-77


All lanes reopened Sunday night on Interstate 77 in Carroll County after a fatal chain reaction crash that involved nearly 100 vehicles.
The incident, which involved several tractor trailers, resulted in three fatalities and approximately 25 people being sent to the hospital.
Dense fog near Fancy Gap on Sunday created hazardous driving conditions.
The Virginia State Police say 95 vehicles were involved in 17 separate crashes about 1:15 p.m. at the base of Fancy Gap Mountain, near mile marker 6 in Carroll County, about six miles north of the North Carolina border.
