WAVERLY, VA – Another vehicle’s cargo had fallen, causing it to hit a moving semi-truck, resulting in a fatal crash that killed a man from Roanoke Thursday.
The metal-framed tarp had flown off the initial vehicle and crashed into the westbound truck on Route 460 near Spring Branch Road, according to The Progress-Index. The force of the collision struck the driver’s windshield and directly hit the truck driver, the Roanoke man. The truck driver was left unconscious, causing him to drift off the road and slam into several trees off the highway.
The truck driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene. He has since been identified as 64-year-old Keith Michael Loback.
Virginia State Police are working to identify the driver of the vehicle carrying the cargo that had fallen and ask anyone with more information to please get in touch with the phone number or email address listed in the initial source.
