A Virginia Department of Transportation contractor was killed when he stopped to assist a disabled vehicle on Interstate 95 Saturday in Prince William County.

A safety service patroller had stopped to help a disabled Audi on the right shoulder and travel lane of I-95 northbound at the 151-mile marker just before 8 p.m.

The driver of a Chrysler 300 sedan lost control, crossed all lanes of travel and struck both the VDOT patroller and the Audi driver.

The patroller was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died. His name has not been released.

The driver of the Audi suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Charges are pending, according to Virginia State Police.
