A Fredericksburg area man was killed in a crash with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 95.
Virginia State Police Trooper K. Zalasar is investigating a two-vehicle crash in Spotsylvania County. The crash occurred Thursday (April 30, 2020) at 9 a.m. on Interstate 95 at the 117 mile-marker, near Thornburg.
A 2009 Toyota Corolla was traveling north on I-95 when it ran off the right side of the highway, and collided with a guard rail. The impact caused the Toyota to come back into the travel lanes, and collided with a northbound 2005 Freightliner tractor-trailer, according to police.
The driver of the Toyota, Michael R. Sprague, 31, of Fredericksburg, Va., died at the scene as a result of his injuries. Sprague was wearing a seatbelt.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, a 49-year-old male, of Galion, OH., was not injured in the crash. The male was wearing a seatbelt.
The crash remains under investigation.
Virginia State Police was assisted by the Virginia Department of Transportation and Spotsylvania County Fire and EMS.
