"Lainier Zahada, 30, of Florida, was driving a tractor and trailer hauling boxed food product southbound I-295 when he ran off road right in attempt to avoid a deer and overturned," a Virginia State Police spokesperson said. "Zahada has been charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain control, and driving with an invalid commercial driver's license."
