HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — A Connecticut man was killed and his wife was injured after their van ran off the road along Interstate 95 in Hanover Sunday morning, according to state police.

Troopers were called to I-95 north just south of the Lewistown Road exit just before 9:10 a.m. That is where officials said a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van ran off the side of the interstate, crashed into several trees and then caught fire.

Officials said 60-year-old James D. Benincasa, a passenger in the van, died at the scene.

The driver, 53-year-old Tiffany Jerome Benincasa, was treated at the scene by Hanover EMS crews for minor injuries.

Troopers said the couple is from Greenwich, Connecticut.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, officials said.
