NORFOLK, Va. — One person died and two others were seriously hurt in a crash between a box truck and a van on Route 58 in Franklin Monday morning, the Franklin Sheriffs' office said.
The first call about the accident came in around 7 a.m., and it was originally reported as a one-vehicle crash. It was actually a two-vehicle crash.
