RICHMOND, Va. — The winter storm that dropped snow and ice on Virginia over the weekend continues to cause hazardous driving conditions Monday morning.
Virginia State Police ask drivers to stay off the roads until at least 10 a.m. so crews can continue to treat roads impacted by the winter weather.
Virginia State Police reported a total of 440 crashes statewide since the storm began. Those crashes resulted in 34 injuries, police said.
There was one reported fatal crash in Fairfax County, though investigators do not believe the weather was a factor.
