CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. — A Chesterfield County man was killed in a single-vehicle crash on I-95 in Caroline County Thursday evening, according to Virginia State Police.
The crash happened in the southbound lanes near the 103-mile marker around 8 p.m.
According to VSP, 63-year-old Kenneth Johnson Fitzgerald was heading south when the front right-side tire of his pickup truck blew, causing him to lose control. His vehicle ran off the road, overcorrected, and hit a tree.
Fitzgerald was taken to the hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Loved ones say Kenneth was a "true example of a good human" who had just beat cancer.
"He was the absolute most caring human being and was loved by so many," wrote Christin Harris, Fitzgerald's stepdaughter. "To know Kenny was to know love and compassion. If you look at any of our Facebook pages you will see just how loved he was. He just helped my mother lay her mother to rest 2 months ago and now we are having to do the same for him. Kenny or kendog as we called him was always smiling and loved car racing, wrestling and his Dallas cowboys. He is forever in our hearts."
VSP is investigating the incident.
