HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- A Virginia State Police trooper and a VDOT contract worker narrowly avoided tragedy when their vehicles were hit by a pickup truck along I-64 in Henrico County Thursday morning.
Troopers were investigating after a vehicle ran off the right side of the interstate around mile marker 204 at 5:50 a.m.
