GREENSVILLE COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) – A tractor-trailer driver was charged after an overnight crash Friday that spilled 40,000 pounds of frozen, packaged meatballs on Interstate 95 in Greensville County.

Virginia State Police confirmed they responded to the crash scene on Southbound 95, north of mile marker 8, around 12:30 a.m.

The Greensville County Fire Department confirmed it took more than two hours to free the driver from the vehicle. He was then taken to a hospital in Petersburg by ambulance and is reported to have minor injuries. There is no word on their condition at this time.

Stenford was charged with failing to obey a highway marking.
