CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — An 18-year-old man was killed on Friday, November 21, 2008,
 in Franklin County, according to Pennsylvania State Police and the Franklin County Coroner’s Office.

Justin S. Everly, 18, of Shippensburg, Pa., was killed Friday afternoon when his pickup truck crashed into the rear of a tractor-trailer on Interstate 81 just south of Exit 24 near Shippensburg, Pa., police said.

In the Friday afternoon accident, Everly was southbound on I-81 in a 1993 GMC Sierra about 3:30 p.m. when the vehicle crashed into the rear of a 2002 Freightliner tractor-trailer that was parked off the west side of the southbound lanes, police said.

The driver of the tractor-trailer, Bonny L. Lewis, 65, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., suffered minor injuries in the crash, police said.

Whiteout conditions were reported at the crash site at the time the accident was reported, Conner said.

The southbound lanes of I-81 were closed after the crash, with traffic being detoured onto Pa. 696 south to Exit 20 in Scotland, Pa., resulting in traffic backing up several miles.
