A Virginia man died Wednesday after police say his vehicle crossed the center line and hit a Ford Explorer head on in Franklin County.

Andrew C. Robertson, 67, of Pittsville, died at the scene. He was wearing his seatbelt.

The two-car accident happened on Jan. 17 at 6:25 p.m. on Route 40, near Route 946.

Virginia State Police report that a 1995 Honda Accord, driven by Robertson, was traveling east on Route 40 when it crossed the center line.

The crash remains under investigation.
