Investigators believe that Henry Lloyd Appleby, a 70-year-old man from Maryland, was driving a Honda Pilot pulling a trailer when he stopped partly in the left lane.
Appleby got out of his car and walked around, standing at the rear passenger side of the trailer, which was in the left lane of the interstate.
According to VSP, Nathan Webb Marquis, a 21-year-old from Chesterfield, was driving a Hyundai Elantra in the left lane when he hit Appleby and the trailer, causing his own vehicle to overturn several times before coming to a rest in the roadway.
Medics took Appleby to Riverside Regional Hospital where he later died from his injuries. Marquis and his passenger also went to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
VSP said speed or impairment weren't contributing factors in what caused the crash.
