Virginia State Police responded Sunday to a three-vehicle crash with a confirmed fatality at westbound I-64 at the 134.5 mile marker.
The trooper’s preliminary investigation reveals that a 2012 Nissan Murano, driven by, Kenneth T. Owens, 56, of Waynesboro, was traveling westbound when he ran off the right shoulder, striking a 2006 Jeep Liberty that was abandoned and disabled on the right shoulder.
The Nissan then overturned several times going off road right. A Honda CRV also traveling westbound, sustained damage from hitting debris from the crash.
Owens was not wearing his seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene. An infant that was located in the back seat was properly secured in a child safety seat. The infant was checked at the scene and was transported to the hospital by helicopter for treatment of minor injuries and observation. There were no other injuries reported.
The crash remains under investigation.
