PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, Va. β Two people were killed and a truck driver cited in a crash that closed lanes on I-295 south in Prince George County on Tuesday morning, according to state officials.
"A tractor trailer had become disabled and was parked on the right emergency shoulder," a Virginia State Police spokesperson said. "A 2014 Toyota Camry driving southbound at a high rate of speed then went off of the right side of the road and struck the tractor trailer. Both the driver and passenger in the Camry died at the scene."
The names of the deceased have not yet been released.
Police initial said the tractor trailer driver was cited for not using emergency flashers or emergency triangles. But in an update days later said the driver was not cited.
The crash, which was reported at approximately 6:22 a.m. on Interstate 295 southbound at the 12-mile-marker in Prince George County, remains under investigation. All lanes have since reopened.
