LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — Mike Hewitt remembers his father asking why St. Mary’s County needed another road when the one in front of his business worked fine. It was the 1970s, Hewitt recalled, and a county commissioner had stopped by to tell his father about a road planned behind the business.

Tar spill snarls traffic on Interstate 95 in Chesterfield

Southbound traffic on Interstate 95 in southern Chesterfield County was snarled on the morning of Nov. 9 as crews worked to clean up tar spilled on the highway after a truck hauling the substance overturned. It happened shortly before 5 a.m. near the Ruffin Mill Road-Woods Edge Road exit about four miles north of Colonial Heights, Virginia State Police Sgt. Jessica Shehan said in an email. A vehicle attempting to change lanes hit the truck, causing it to overturn and spill tar all over the southbound travel lanes. Both drivers were taken to an area hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. The crash remains under investigation. Travel through the area was expected to be slow while the cleanup continued.
