Virginia wrong-way express lane fatal crash kills retired Marine colonel

Ken Crosby texted his wife at 4:30 p.m. when he left the Pentagon. He said he'd be home soon.

She set the dinner table and waited.

Hours ticked by. His daughter grew increasingly panicked. At 11 p.m., a state trooper showed up at the door.

Retired U.S. Marine Corps. Lt. Col. Kenneth Crosby, Jr. was southbound in the express lanes less than a mile from his exit on I-95 Thursday afternoon when a driver allegedly fleeing state troopers broke through the barrier arms blocking northbound traffic and plowed into him head-on.
