Charges are pending in an accident on Interstate 95 involving a box truck that killed a Jarratt man.
Daniel Maryland Jr., 71, of Jarratt, died at the scene on Tuesday, June 10, according to Virginia State Police.
Charges are pending review by the Prince George County Commonwealth’s Attorney. Driver fatigue is being considered as a factor in the crash.
Virginia State Police responded to the two-vehicle crash on northbound I-95 at the 46-mile marker in Prince George County at 5:29 a.m.
A Hino box truck was traveling south on I-95 when it struck the guardrail on the left shoulder. The vehicle then crossed the grassy median and overturned onto its side in the northbound lanes.
A northbound Ford Ranger pickup truck, driven by Maryland, was unable to avoid the overturned box truck and struck it. The impact caused the pickup to catch fire.
The driver of the box truck, a 31-year-old man from Peterson, Pa., was not injured. His name has not been released.
The crash remains under investigation.
