Virginia man killed in Spotsylvania County crash

A Virginia man was killed after the car he was driving struck a guard rail and collided with a truck.

It happened Thursday at 9 a.m. on Interstate 95 at near mile marker 117. Michael Sprague, 31, of Fredericksburg, was driving a car traveling north on I-95 when he ran off the right side of the roadway and struck a guard rail.

The impact caused the car to come back into the travel lane, where it crashed with a tractor trailer traveling north. Sprague, who was wearing a seatbelt, died at the scene, a news release from Virginia State Police said.

The driver of the truck was a 49-year-old man from Ohio. He was also wearing a seatbelt and was not hurt in the crash.

The investigation is ongoing.

Funding will come from airport revenue sources such as parking fees and concession sales, along with airline payments, passenger facility charges and $14.2 billion in municipal bonds, said Andy Rountree, WMAA's chief financial officer.
