ACCOMACK COUNTY, Va. — A man is dead following a multi-vehicle crash in Accomack County on Friday.
Virginia State Police said it happened on Lankford Highway (Hwy. 13) near Coal Kiln Road.
A few days later, police identified the man who died in the crash as 39-year-old Romar Reid from Hampton.
VSP said Reid was driving a Ford sedan, traveling at a high rate of speed in the northbound lanes, when his car rear-ended a Chevrolet Cruz. Reid's car went into the median, then the southbound lanes where it was hit head-on by a semi.
Reid was thrown from the vehicle into a ditch, troopers said. The Chevrolet Cruz was then hit by a Chevrolet Silverado.
The driver of the semi was not hurt, and the drivers of the Cruz and the Silverado went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to a release from VSP.
