MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) — The Virginia State Police (VSP) says a man is dead after he was ejected from a truck during a crash on Interstate 81 in Montgomery County on March 26.

According to VSP, the crash occurred at 10:43 p.m. near mile marker 117. Troopers said 56-year-old Michael D. Williams, of Atkins, was driving a 2013 Ford truck when he allegedly ran off the right side of the road, hit a sign, and crossed the northbound lanes.

Williams then ran off the left side of the road and slammed into a guardrail. State police said the Ford overturned, and Williams ejected from the truck.

He died at the scene.
