OHIO — A multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 77 North in Carroll County early Tuesday morning claimed the lives of two Ohio men, according to the Virginia State Police.
The crash occurred around 2:55 a.m. on November 19 at mile marker 9.
Investigators say 34-year-old Nicholas R. Oleski of Cleveland, Ohio, was driving a 2025 Mercedes Benz CLA250 northbound when the vehicle veered off the left side of the roadway.
Oleski’s vehicle struck the end of a guardrail before spinning back onto the interstate, where it collided with a 2019 Ford F250.
The Mercedes then spun again, striking a 2023 Volvo VRN tractor-trailer and a 2025 Peterbilt tractor-trailer before coming to a stop off the right side of the interstate.
Oleski was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
His passenger, 34-year-old Justine A. Hitchcock, also of Cleveland, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Both Oleski and Hitchcock were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
None of the drivers or passengers in the other vehicles were injured.
The Virginia State Police are continuing to investigate the crash.
