Morning Interstate Collisions in West Virginia
Crashes on I-77 South in the Sissonville area—especially near high-traffic mile markers like 110—are unfortunately common during morning travel hours. Conditions at this time of day often include increased traffic flow, reduced visibility from low sun angles, and weather-related hazards during colder months. Together, these factors can increase the likelihood of collisions.

In this incident, first responders worked quickly to assess the situation and provide aid to those involved.
Interstate crashes often leave victims with more than just vehicle damage.
