HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- State police have released the name of the driver killed in a wreck on Interstate 295 in Henrico County early Friday morning.

Troopers were called to the wreck at the I-295 access road near Woodman Road just after 12:30 a.m., according to Sgt. Dylan Davenport with Virginia State Police.

Davenport said 32-year-old Lorenzo Shepherd was headed north when his Honda sedan ran off the road, overrode the guardrail, struck several trees and then overturned near the ramp for I-95 south.

Shepherd, of Henrico, was partially ejected from the vehicle, Davenport said. He was not wearing his seat belt, according to state police.

There were no other vehicle occupants.
