The truck was being driven by a male. He was heading north on a Virginia state highway when he decided to speed up and pass some cars using the left lane.

Virginia State Police reported that the truck driver was in the left lane as he passed two vehicles.

Once he completed passing the two vehicles, he signaled that he was going to move back into the right lane. But instead, he went off the shoulder of the road and hit the guardrail. This caused his truck to go down an embankment where the truck caught on fire.

The truck’s fire spread to the trailer where the pile of batteries was located. Some of the batteries actually exploded from the exposure to the intense heat.

The truck driver was killed in the accident. He’s been described as a man in his 60’s but his name had not been released pending contact with his family.

The accident caused a back up for miles as the north lane of the highway was closed down. A hazardous material crew had to come out to clean up the accident site and all the remnants of the batteries.

County Deputy Coroner said that the bicycle rider was killed instantly.  The name of the rider was not released since officials are still contacting family.

Don W. Beville, 42, was driving the truck.  After he had hit the bicyclist he tried to leave the scene, but was stopped by local police.  The police discovered that this semi truck had been part of another crash and had left the scene of the crash.

Police reported that someone witnessed the driver of the Nissan truck drinking a beer when he was leaving the first crash.  Police were able to connect the two crashes since the victim of the first crash was able to write down the truck’s license plate number and submit it to local police.

After Beville was arrested, his blood alcohol level was measured at 0.30.  He did not sustain any injuries from either crash.  He has been charged with operating while Intoxicated causing a death, which is a Class B felony charge.

This collision occurred just two miles south of the first crash.  The second crashed involved several vehicles, three of which were semi trucks and four were passenger vehicles.  One of the passenger vehicles was pulling a trailer.  Ten were taken to local hospitals by ambulance and helicopter with inuries.  A few of them are in critical condition.

Witnesses say that it was a chain reaction accident.  Considering how many cars were involved, the scene was quite calm after the crash.  Rescue workers had to free victims from their trapped cars.  One car was trapped underneath one of the semi trucks.

One of the semi trucks was from the Target store.  The back door of its trailer was ripped off but the trailer itself was empty.

Since there were so many victims and vehicles involved in the accident, there is an investigation still in progress.  Police have not released the names of any of the victims.

The motorcycle rider, Stephen Barber, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene of an accident last Saturday.  The accident happened just after noon when Phillip Siragusa, 52, was driving east in his 2008 Chevrolet pickup truck

State police trooper reported that Siragusa slowed his speed down as he was approaching the slowed traffic in front of him.  However, Barber coming on the same route did not slow down and instead hit Siragusa’s truck in the back.  It is not certain why Barber did not slow down as he approached the truck.

Barber was thrown from his motorcycle and landed in the path of two other motorcycles.  Robert Guidry, 61 and Lenard Dequeant, 59, were driving the other motorcycles.  They hit Barber and caused him his fatal injuries.

Guidry and Dequeant were taken to the hospital for what police report where very minor injuries.

Police reported that Siragusa was not harmed from the crash.  Police do not believe that alcohol or drugs were a factor in this accident.  However, tests were still conducted and sent to the local police crime lab.  Results of these tests are still pending.

The police have arrested someone of interest but have not charged him with a citation as yet. He is in custody since he was on probation at the time of the multiple crashes. Until a citation is issued to the suspect, which most likely will be this week, the name of the suspect will not be released.

Police were called to the scene of the accident after a 911 call came in around 2 am. The call described the called stated that there was a silver GMC pickup truck that had hit a utility pole. When the police arrived, witnesses told them that the truck just kept going.

The police finally found the totaled truck that was now stuck under the RV, but the driver had fled. The police were able to draw the path of the truck since it was leaking fluids and the broken axle left some imprints in the pavement. The police concluded that the driver was driving recklessly back and forth.

With all the fluids that had leaked from the truck, the fire department had to be called to the accident site.

Investigators have not commented on the cause of the accident or whether or not alcohol was a factor.
