This date is incorrect.  The accident took place Friday afternoon June 19th around 4:45.  We were caught in a mile-long gridlock on 63 (we were northbound to Cumberland).  The road was narrowed to one lane, and it took over twenty minutes to travel the mile or so to get to eastbound US 8.

Thanks Scott for letting us know. I have updated our accident report. Regards, Ingrid Taylor, Accident Data Center

Glad to help out, Ingrid. Best, Scott Reeve
