HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — A North Carolina man was killed Monday afternoon when a driver crossed the double solid yellow line on Route 1 in Hanover and crashed into a Ford F150, according to the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office. The deceased crash victim, identified as 61-year-old John James Bailey III, of Tarboro, North Carolina, was a passenger in the pick-up truck.

“The preliminary investigation revealed a 2003 Kia Sedona was traveling north on Washington Highway (Route 1) and crossed the double solid yellow lines into the southbound travel lanes.
