Thousands of motorists have been stranded in West Virginia after a mudslide sent water and debris onto highway. The mudslide after heavy rains caused a 12-mile traffic backup along the West Virginia Turnpike. Traffic was not rerouted, and many motorists along the mountainous route had no choice but to remain in their vehicles for more than eight hours. People posted on social media that they had no information on why the standstill occurred, that they had nothing to drink in their vehicles or that their children needed to use the bathroom. One lane reopened Friday morning, but traffic remained stopped for hours.
