A Gainesville man was killed in a weather-related accident in Virginia over the weekend when he lost control of his military surplus vehicle due to slick road conditions caused by a winter storm.

Virginia State Police say 73-year-old Ronald W. Harris died in the accident Saturday night in a southbound lane of I-81 in Pulaski County. Harris' vehicle was struck by two tractor-trailers.

One tractor-trailer and the surplus truck stopped in the median, while the other tractor-trailer crossed northbound lanes and struck a fence.

State police said Harris died at the scene. The tractor-trailer drivers were taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries.
