West Virginia Department of Transportation Secretary and Division of Highways Commissioner Jimmy Wriston has faced criticism for approving millions of dollars in contracts with a firm that employs his son.
he told me about people giving food and water to each other. someone gave him a jump and he decided to pay it forward but walking to the next exit where him and a group of people actually had shovels and were digging out the tractor trailers themselves. it was a relief. we got this. he was like the main one blocking the other one and then the other one was blocking all the other cars. we knew we had to get them out first before we even had a chance. officials here in virginia and the department of transportation facing criticism now over the roads. if they were pre-treated. they said they weren t able to pre-treat a lot of roads before the storm because we had rain before the snow and the rain would have washed the salt away. we expect v-dot to do a review of the incident and we see traffic is moving on 95. crews able to fully reopen the road around 8:30 last night. more problems for drivers.
