UPDATE: Police say speed contributed to fatal Shore Drive accident in Virginia Beach

Investigators said Leslie Scott Dyer, 40, was killed when his pickup truck ran into a tree in the median.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The Virginia Beach Police Department has been investigating a Wednesday afternoon accident at the intersection of Shore Drive and First Court Road, where a man died.
