Around 1:45 a.m. on February 19, a southbound tractor trailer carrying frozen chicken parts was involved in a single vehicle accident on Two Island at Thimble Shoal Tunnel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The tractor trailer became fully engulfed by fire as a result of the accident. Thankfully, no fatalities or injuries have been reported as a result of the accident.
Firefighters from Virginia Beach, Cape Charles and Cheriton responded to the accident.
The tractor trailer has been cleared from the scene. There was no structural damage to the facility as a result of the fire.
The tractor trailer was fully loaded with frozen chicken and all of the remaining load is being removed from the roadway.
A single lane is now open in the tunnel portal. Travelers can continue to expect delays as CBBT officials alternate traffic flow around the scene with reduced traffic speeds for the next couple of hours.
