Police looking for help in identifying man struck, killed on I-66 in Virginia

Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who was struck and killed on I-66 in Warren County, Virginia.

The man was struck in the eastbound travel lane on Sunday at 3 a.m. near the 14-mile marker, about a mile east of Exit 13, the police said.



The man who died on the scene is a Hispanic man believed to be in his mid-20s and possibly Honduran, based on information found on his person at the scene, police said.

Police said the vehicle that hit him pulled over immediately and remained at the scene. Already on the shoulder was another vehicle with two Hispanic men standing outside. Police said when the other driver approached the men, they got into their four-door sedan and drove off.

The man was transported to the Office of the Medical Examiner for positive identification, examination and autopsy.

Police say it is possible that the pedestrian had been in the sedan before being struck.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has any more information is encouraged to call the Virginia State Police by dialing #77 or 540-829-7766, or emailing questions@vsp.virginia.gov.

Completing the FAFSA: Everything you should know

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens by Dec. 31, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. Some states now make completing the FAFSA a high school graduation requirement. The U.S. Department of Education awarded about $111.6 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study funds in fiscal year 2022, according to the most recent Federal Student Aid annual report. Those federal funds will assist roughly 9.8 million students in completing their education.
