The press release from the State Police stated that both vehicles sustained significant damage, with Skaff being pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the tractor trailer was unharmed. The crash took place near mile marker 101, between Jane Lew and Weston. The State Police will have a Crash Reconstructionist analyze the accident, as the investigation is ongoing.
