Rt. 460 in Isle of Wight shut down by truck-on-truck crash

The closures on US 460 in Isle of Wight that spanned from Thursday night into Friday morning were due to a two-vehicle crash. Both vehicles were tractor-trailers, Virginia State Police reported. Shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, VSP said they responded to an incident on Rt. 460 just west of the intersection of Rt. 639, Winston Drive.

5 days: New Castle former nurse sentenced in federal drug conspiracy

Debra Kay Shaffer’s involvement in a white-collar drug conspiracy earned her less than a week of jailtime.
