Area police have been working crashes – including one on Route 29 around Altavista where a tractor trailer ended up in the median and on Campbell Avenue in Lynchburg where a vehicle struck a utility pole. Gaynelle Hart head of Lynchburg Public Works says their crews applied salt to the roads and are working in 12-hour shifts:
Most area schools are closed and many businesses are opening their doors late.
