Rt. 50 In Willards Shut Down


We have been informed they have closed down Rt. 50 in Willards at Powellville Road due to a vehicle accident. We're not sure if it's east bound, west bound or both. We'll try to find out and update this Post.

The accident i witnessed was on the west bound lane. Maybe there were two accidents?

The Sheriff's Department has confirmed it is in the West bound lanes. Main Street Pittsville exit. Soi perhaps there were two accidents. I can't get there to find out, so we'll rely on you guys.

There have been 3 accidents in that area according to the scanner. One at Forest Grove Rd, one at Main St. ext and the powellville rd. All on Rt. 50. Please Stay Off The Roads!

Praying for all those people who HAVE to be out on the roads or outside in this weather as a part of their jobs.

PLEASE, people who do not have to be out on the roads, have consideration for those who do. If you go out unnecessarily and cause an accident and injure or kill an innocent person or child, or an emergency worker out trying to rescue other people, how will you feel then? The less people out, the less stress on those who have to be. Remember, someone will have to pay for this storm to help balance the budget and my guess it will be the state employees.

Sunny-my husband is one of the 5 plows (through the state) designated to Rt 50 in Willards and said neither one of them went off the highway. Did you see who went off? Possibly county or private plows?
