    CHESAPEAKE, Va. - Virginia State Police have released the names of the victims in Tuesday morning's deadly collision on Interstate 64, in Chesapeake.

    Investigators say 75-year-old Donald Franklin Beazly was driving his Honda minivan Eastbound on I-64, just West of the High Rise Bridge, when a tanker truck crossed the median and hit the van. Beazly's wife, 72-year-old Sue Ratcliffe Beazly was killed. The Beazlys are from Littleton, North Carolina.

    Police say the driver of the tanker truck, Gary Allen Saunders from Windsor, Va., had a medical related incident, which apparently caused the crash.

    The tanker truck was carrying carbon dioxide.

    Saunders and Donald Beazly were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. No word on their conditions.

    Charges are pending.
