A Stephens City woman was taken to the hospital after her

TV3 Winchester news headline excerpt...
....The first accident brought traffic to a
halt at mile marker 316, just north of Winchester. That accident had no
reported injuries and Virginia State Police were able to open the right
shoulder to limited traffic within a few minutes.
An accident in Middletown proved to be more
serious sending Jimmy Ray Hamilton, Jr. to Winchester Medical Center
with serious injuries. He flipped his tractor trailer, which was
carrying a load of watermelons.
The third accident happened in Strasburg at
exit 296. Workers at the scene think it might have been related to the
accident in Middletown, but this accident proved fatal for two people.
That accident was quickly followed by a
fourth in Woodstock, leaving Storch and her boyfriend stuck in traffic
and not in New York. The accidents delayed her trip by at least five
hours.
