SUFFOLK, VA – A 58-year-old man who was operating a box truck died when he crashed into another truck on Route 58 Monday.
This collision happened after 3 p.m. on the Franklin bypass, according to 13NewsNow.
Suffolk police did not specify what truck model the hit truck was, but stated it was used to assist crew members with a road pavement project on the highway.
Officers confirmed the victim perished at the crash site, identifying him as Stephan Travis Claude.
An investigation has been launched.
