ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY, Va. — The Isle of Wight County Sheriff's Office said that Route 460 was completely shut down due to a double tractor-trailer crash Wednesday night.
The closure on 460 was west of the intersection of Route 639 (Winston Drive) within Isle of Wight County, according to the Virginia State Police. Multiple law enforcement, fire and rescue crews were on the scene.
A 2020 Volvo tractor-trailer, driven by Leslie Paul-Moore Turner, was hauling an empty trailer when it became disabled, according to the VSP. While the first truck driver was looking for the emergency triangles, another tractor-trailer, a 2016 International, hit the first from behind.

Troopers say that the crash is still being investigated, but as of now, neither speed, alcohol nor drugs appear to be contributing factors.
