Virginia Governor Ralph Northam apologizing after people left stranded on I-95 in winter storm
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Virginia’s governor is apologizing to people left stranded on Interstate 95 by snowy conditions.
“I am sorry for people that are stranded, but I would ask them to be patient. We’re going to get them as soon as we can,” Governor Ralph Northam said.
Northam says he’s been in constant contact with the Virginia Department of Transportation, Virginia State Police, and other state emergency response officials. He says icy conditions overnight compounded the issue, which started Monday evening along the interstate.
Northam says a series of accidents, along with downed trees have hampered the state’s response to those trapped.
