A two-vehicle crash Saturday morning in the southbound lanes of the George P. Coleman Bridge in Gloucester resulted in the death of a 44-year-old Hayes man and detoured Peninsula-bound traffic for several hours.
The accident took place around 8 a.m. A 2018 Kia Forte traveling southbound on Route 17 struck a disabled 2019 GMC Sierra pickup with a trailer that was partially in the right travel lane, the Virginia State Police reported.
