A Lorton man was killed in a crash Friday morning in Spotsylvania County.
Marshall Mitchell, 34, was killed when he was riding in a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe traveling south on Benchmark Road, near Mine Road.
The SUV ran off the right side of the road, and Mitchell was ejected when the driver crossed over the left side of the road and over corrected, said Virginia State Police Sgt. Les Tyler.
Mitchell was not wearing a seatbelt.
The driver of the SUV, 32-year-old Jui Shelton of Spotsylvania, is charged with driving under the influence, said Tyler.
