An Augusta County woman died Tuesday morning from injuries sustained in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 64 in Albemarle County.

Sally Tripp, 58, of Fishersville, was transported to UVA Health in serious condition, before later succumbing to the injuries sustained in the 12:51 a.m. accident, per a report from Albemarle County Police.

The accident occurred at mile marker 109 near Crozet in Western Albemarle.

The police report tells us that a tractor-trailer struck a vehicle being driven by Ms. Tripp, causing the vehicle to collide with a gooseneck trailer traveling in front of it.

The driver of the tractor-trailer, 30-year-old Nachalie Amaro Burgos, has been charged with felony involuntary manslaughter, failure to obey a highway sign and driving too fast for conditions.

Amaro Burgos is being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail without bond.
