An 81-year-old man died after being hit by a driver on Interstate 64 in Chesapeake Sunday evening.
Around 10:30 p.m., Virginia State Police said John Francis Duff, of Norfolk, was standing outside of his 2009 Chevrolet Malibu by the westbound lanes after crashing into the jersey wall. Shortly after he got out of his car, state police say Dahnna Renita Meno, 19, was driving a 2019 Dodge Challenger “at a high rate of speed.” Meno, of Hampton, lost control of the car, ran off the interstate and crashed into the man and the Malibu.
Duff was taken to the hospital, but he died of his injuries. Meno and four passengers in her vehicle were not injured.
Virginia State Police have charged Meno with reckless driving, but more charges may be pending. Police said it is unclear if alcohol was a factor in the crash.
