A 1998 Kenworth dump truck was traveling north on I-95 when the driver accidentally engaged the dump bed, which raised it and caused it to collide with the bridge overpass. The collision caused the dump bed to become wedged between the roadway and bridge.
The driver of the truck, Earl V. Vaughan, 69, of Dunnsville, VA, suffered minor injuries in the crash and was transported to Mary Washington Hospital for treatment. Vaughan was wearing a seatbelt.
The crash caused I-95 northbound and Truslow Road overpass to be closed for several hours while crews were assessing the bridge and roadway. VDOT assisted with the cleanup and road closures.
Vaughan was charged with reckless driving.
The crash remains under investigation.
