Police investigating cause of deadly, late-night crash on Eastern Shore

Investigators haven't figured out what caused a man to drive head-on into a tractor-trailer on the Eastern Shore, causing a deadly crash.

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, Va. — Investigators say a man died after he ran off the highway and struck a tractor-trailer head-on late Monday night.

State Police tell us the crash happened a little before 10:15 p.m. on Route 13 northbound, near Brickhouse Drive.

We're told the victim, 50-year-old John S. Webb, was traveling south on Route 13 when he ran off the road, hit the median, then struck a tractor-trailer in the northbound lanes of Route 13.

Mr. Webb was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, and police don't believe alcohol was a contributing factor. An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
