A tractor trailer accident has shut down part of Interstate 77 north of Wytheville. It happened around 6:30 this morning near mile post 43. A trailer owned by Southern Explosives of North Carolina overturned, spilling diesel fuel and ammonium nitrate. Both Southbound and Northbound lanes are closed for about 21 miles around the accident.

[SUPER=03-London, England;]
A jury in London is hearing the case of an Army major, who allegedly cheated his way to the top prize on the British version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"
Major Charles Ingram won 1-point-six- million dollars.
But the episode never aired, and his check was withheld.
Prosecutors say Ingram's friend, who was in the studio audience, coughed repeatedly during the taping.
They believe the man was trying to help Ingram answer the questions correctly.
Ingram's wife was also allegedly involved in the plot.
The couple had appeared on the show before.
She won, but he'd never made it past a qualifying round.
