Drivers stranded as long as 24 hours on icy I-95 in Virginia after winter storm

Drivers have been stuck for hours on I-95 in Fredericksburg, Virginia due to problems from a winter storm Monday, CBS Richmond affiliate WTVR-TV reports.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) said some vehicles have been there since Monday morning, adding that the storm dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of the region.

Some motorists had to spend the night in their vehicles without food or stable heat, in freezing temperatures, the WTVR points out.
