Update 1 4 08
  Traffic was backed up on Interstates 64 and 77 in Charleston for much of the day Thursday after a tractor-trailer wrecked because of icy road conditions. The truck driver, Samual Quillen of Bloomville, Ohio, lost control and ran off the road in the northbound lane near Daniel Boone Park, according to a Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department dispatcher. The vehicle then struck a utility pole and a car in the southbound lane, the dispatcher said. Both Quillen and the driver of the car, Louis Roe of Hurricane, were taken to CAMC General Hospital with injuries. The accident kept the southbound lanes of I-64 and I-77 blocked from about 8 a.m. until well into Thursday afternoon, the dispatcher said. Diesel fuel had to be cleaned from the roadway, he said.
