SUPPLY, VA – A 61-year-old man driving a pickup truck ran a stop sign and hit a tractor-trailer, resulting in his death and injuring the 18-wheeler driver Wednesday.
WRIC said this collision occurred before 4:45 a.m. at the Supply Road and Tidewater Trail interchange while the semi-driver was traveling south. Upon arrival, Virginia State Police declared the pickup truck motorist dead at the crash site, whom they identified as Danny William Holmes from Essex County.
