Justice announced the additional measures at a news conference in Charleston.
He ordered state police to enforce reduced speed limits in work zones and directed the state Department of Transportation âto go above and beyondâ national safety standards with signs and traffic control.
While last weekâs accident along Interstate 81 did not occur in a construction zone, Berkeley County Sheriff Nathan Harmon said Thursday that work zones are common elsewhere along the interstate.
According to police, two vehicles lost control, went through the median and crashed into a parked tractor-trailer at a rest stop June 30 near Martinsburg. Two men who were tractor-trailer operators and had walked to the scene to help then were hit by another vehicle that had lost control. Speed and weather conditions were listed as factors.

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. A Berkeley County man is facing charges after authorities conducted one of the largest drug seizures in the county’s history.
Jamie Lewis Jean, of Bunker Hill, has been charged with the cultivation of marijuana and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm related to a search last week.
Berkeley County Sheriff Nathan Harmon said Thursday a Baker Heights property owner alerted authorities about someone growing marijuana on his land. The county’s Accelerated Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Team found 15 plants in the area, and authorities put out trail cameras to track the person responsible.
