SEVIER COUNTY, Utah — A driver was killed early Friday after their semi truck struck a concrete barrier on Interstate 70 in Sevier County.

The crash happened before 5:30 a.m. near mile marker 16 when the semi heading westbound rolled after hitting the barrier.

The name of the driver was not released and it's unclear what led to the truck striking the barrier. It's believe only one person was in the truck at the time of the crash.

The Utah Highway Patrol said the left lane of westbound I-70 will be closed for several hours to clear the highway following the accident.
