LANCASTER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- Virginia State Police said the driver of a truck and camper initially reported in a hit-and-run crash on Norris Bridge earlier this month has been located.

As a result, new information has changed the nature of the investigation.

The crash occurred around 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 1, when a silver or gray pickup truck pulling a large white camper was reported to have crossed the centerline on westbound Route 3. It hit a van traveling in the opposite direction.

The impact caused the van to collide with a third vehicle. The drivers of the van and the third vehicle were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to state police.
