The focus was traveling in the far left lane of the northbound portion of the highway when the drive lost control. The car was then struck by a flatbed truck traveling in the center lane.

The two vehicles struck another car and then slammed into a jersey wall.

Here’s the full report more from Virginia State Police:

Virginia State Police are investigating a fatal crash involving a tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle. At approximately 9:48 a.m., Virginia State Police Trooper C.A. Snyder responded to the crash Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014, in the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 at Exit 150 (Triangle) in Prince William County.

A Ford Focus was traveling in the far left northbound lane when it lost control. The vehicle was struck by a flatbed tractor-trailer traveling in the center lane.

The Ford Focus and the truck continued onto the left shoulder of the road – striking a jersey wall and traveling approximately 150 feet where both came to rest against a guardrail.

The driver and passenger of the Ford Focus died at the scene. Both were wearing a seatbelt.
