According to the Virginia State Police, Michael D. Williams, 56, died at the scene of a crash that took place at 10:43 p.m. Tuesday, March 26.
Williams was traveling northbound on I-81 in a 2013 Ford F750 truck. According to the State Police, at the 117-mile marker the truck went off the road to the right, struck a sign, then crossed the northbound lanes, and went off the road to the left. The vehicle then struck a guardrail and overturned, ejecting Williams, who was not wearing a seat belt.
The crash remains under investigation.
