Virginia State Police are investigating a fatal weekend crash over the weekend on Interstate 81 in Rockbridge County.

The incident happened Saturday evening when a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe was parked on the northbound right shoulder of the highway near the Raphine/Steeles Tavern exit.

Authorities report the driver was outside of the vehicle when a tractor-trailer stuck the Tohoe, which then fatally struck the driver, who was identified as 71-year-old Timothy James Korman of Midlothian.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.
