@CFEMSVa said to avoid this area! 👇

Route 288 Northbound near Hull Street Road is closed due to flooding.

Firefighters were called to the area after two vehicles got stuck in the water. The people inside were able to get out on their own and were not injured.

[Lt. J.R. Lamb @lieutenant_lamb]

Distracted driving is dangerous! Pay attention while driving. Two vehicles totaled, and property damage luckily no serious injuries. @CCPDVa @CBS6 @8NEWS @12OnYourSide @ChesterfieldVa @CFEMSVa

@carriestevens41 Yes… but if your business relies on gas it may not be up and running until Columbia gas makes all the necessary repairs.
