Christiansburg yesterday and this morning shut down all I-81 NB lanes (separate major crashes at the same spot). Yesterday's crash involved 12 vehicles I believe. Today's was even worse in the human side of things, 4 fatalities in the 3:30 AM wreck that still has I-81 NB closed through Christiansburg.
