North Stafford, Va. –– Fire and rescue crews pulled a man from an overturned U-Haul this afternoon on U.S. 1.
The victim has yet to be identified, and was pulled from the vehicle about 30 minutes after the crash was reported at 12:51 p.m., at the Prince William – Stafford County line.
The unidentified victim was taken to a local hospital, and his condition has not been released.
The crash closed a portion of southbound U.S. 1, just past Russell Road and the back gate to Quantico Marine Corps Base.
Witnesses who were driving in the opposite direction say the driver was traveling in the southbound direction and appeared to have simply run off of the road into a ditch into some trees, landing in a muddy bed of grass and water.
With smoke billowing from the engine compartment of the crashed truck, several drives stopped to help the driver of the U-Haul, witnesses said.
“I ran over to him and he was screaming “help, please don’t leave me here,” said David Adeniran of Stafford, who was headed to Washington when the crash occurred.
Adenrian, and another driver, Paula Love of Stafford, called 911.
“He was beeping his horn for help,” said Love.
Many others also stopped to help, many bringing with them fire extinguishers, said Love.
The highway was reopened about 2 p.m.
