Virginia State Police Master Trooper M. Martin is investigating a fatal three-vehicle crash in Page County that occurred on Tuesday at 6:11 p.m. on Route 340 near Route 684 (Goodmill Road).
A 2015 Ford Mustang was traveling north on Rte. 340 when it crossed a double solid yellow center, collided with southbound 2001 Ford F-350 hauling a trailer. The impact caused the Mustang to run off the roadway and collide with a guardrail, ejecting the driver. Debris from the Mustang struck a southbound 2005 Chevrolet Silverado.
The driver of the Mustang, Bruce G. Pilgrim, 27, of Front Royal, died at the scene of the crash as a result of his injuries. Pilgrim was not wearing a seatbelt.
