N.J. man killed when his truck crashes into a tree off Virginia highway

A Trenton man driving a tractor trailer in Virginia died when his truck left a highway and crashed late Friday night, Virginia State Police said.

Bruce Daymon Worley, 51, was driving eastbound on Interstate 64 in Henrico County, Virginia when he crashed at about 10:30 p.m. Friday.

He was driving a 2015 International tractor trailer that ran off the left side of the road near mile marker 181 and struck a tree, police said.

Authorities said Worley died from his injuries at the scene.

Virginia State Police initially announced the fatal crash early Saturday morning, and by late Sunday had identified Worley to the public.

They say they don't yet know what caused Worley to crash, and that the incident is still under investigation.
