Connecticut Man Dies in Hanover County I-95 Crash after a tragic single-vehicle accident early Sunday morning. The fatal crash occurred on Interstate 95 North, just beyond Lewistown Road, prompting a swift response from Virginia State Police (VSP) and emergency personnel.
Details of the Fatal Crash
At approximately 9:08 a.m. on Sunday, March 23, VSP received reports of a crash involving a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. According to the preliminary investigation, the vehicle veered off the right side of the highway and collided with multiple trees before catching fire.
Authorities identified the driver as 53-year-old Tiffany Jerome Benincasa of Greenwich, Connecticut. She was found outside the vehicle with minor injuries and was treated at the scene by Hanover County Fire-EMS. Tragically, her husband and passenger, 60-year-old James D. Benincasa, was found inside the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation as authorities work to determine what factors may have contributed to the vehicle running off the road.
Legal Compensation for Families of Accident Victims
When a fatal accident occurs, surviving family members often face immense emotional and financial challenges. In cases like this, the victim’s family may be entitled to wrongful death compensation, which can cover funeral expenses, medical costs, lost income, and the emotional suffering caused by the sudden loss of a loved one.
If the crash resulted from a mechanical failure, a defective part, or road hazards, additional claims could be pursued against manufacturers, maintenance providers, or even local authorities responsible for roadway conditions.
