Virginia State Police say that a truck driver was charged following a three vehicle collision in Stafford County on Wednesday.
The crash occurred at 4:42 a.m. on July 5 in the northbound lanes of I-95 at mile marker 136.
According to VSP, a northbound semi truck driver hauling a load of beer was traveling in the center lane. The truck driver attempted to move over into the right lane and struck a 2014 Nissan Altima.
This collision caused both the semi truck and the Altima to veer into the left lane and strike a 2010 Subaru Forrester.
Troopers say that all three vehicles went off the left side of the interstate and struck a guardrail.
