3 Killed On I-295 Crash Of Truck Into 2 Vehicles
POSTED: 2:21 pm EDT July 3, 2006
RICHMOND, Va. -- A truck drifted off the shoulder of Interstate 295 early Monday, crashing into two vehicles and killing three people, including a brother and sister.
The trucker, identified by state police as Timothy Lee Taylor of Beulaville, N.C., escaped with minor injuries after his truck overturned and burst into flames. Police said he had been charged with reckless driving.
The crash occurred at 3:40 a.m. on the northbound shoulder of 295 just north of Richmond.
A car driven by Eric Paul Forbes 21, of McKenney broke down and he called his sister to help, Sgt. Kevin Barrick with the Virginia State Police said.
Gretchen Forbes O'Connor, 30, left her suburban Richmond home and went to her brother's aid, parking along the shoulder of the interstate, Barrick said.
The siblings and Forbes' passenger, Donovan Cori Hence, 22, of Glen Allen, were outside the vehicles when the truck operated by Taylor, 38, hit both vehicles and all three people. All three died instantly, Barrick said.
Taylor was hauling frozen turkey and ham.
