A South Carolina man reportedly became ill moments before losing control of his truck and trailer Monday on Interstate 81, careening 1000 feet off the road and slamming onto Stover School Road below the interstate, Virginia State Police said.

The man was airlifted to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville.

Police said the truck, a Ford Super Duty F-250, was driven by Rusty A. Ward, 44, of Inman, South Carolina.

Ward was pulling a trailer and talking on his cellphone with his brother, who was driving in front of the truck. Ward's nephew was following the trailer, according to police.

Ward told his brother he wasn't feeling well and they decided to pull off at Exit 213. However, while the brother was looking in his rearview mirror, police said he saw Ward weaving and then lose control of the truck at mile marker 211.9.
