Truck Driver from Chesapeake, Va. Charged with DUI After Accident
Posted on Aug 23, 2010
The truck driver who caused an accident on Interstate 64 has been charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. The driver lost control of his tractor trailer at about 3:16 am. The man, Daniel Dehaven, 38, of Chesapeake, Va. was traveling westbound I-64 when the accident occurred.
Fortunately there were no injuries reported and the semi was the only vehicle involved in the crash. Morehead Fire Department Chief Jeff Anderson reported that the accident was not severe and that the semi had tipped over without doing too much damage.
The driver indicated that he was, "hauling 200 gallons drums of liquid animal fat." Clean-up crews did have to work to offload the truck and aid in reopening the highway. One lane of I-64 was closed for several hours.
The driver is being held in the Rowan County Detention Center on DUI charges. The accident is still under investigation by State Trooper Chris Jones.
The staff and attorneys at Tavss Fletcher have seen too many people injured by the reckless actions of truck drivers. We are glad to see that this accident did not lead to any injuries.
