An accident involving a tractor trailer on Interstate 295 in Hopewell resulted in one fatality. The two-vehicle crash occurred on Thursday at 6:58 a.m.
Gregory Allen Joyner, 52, of Petersburg, died at the scene, according to Virginia State Police.
VSP reports that a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Joyner, moved from the center lane to the right lane and struck the front of a 2022 Freightliner tractor trailer on northbound I-295 one mile north of Route 36.
Both vehicles lost control, and the tractor trailer pushed the Silverado off the road into a sign and then multiple trees.
Joyner was wearing a seatbelt.
This crash remains under investigation.
