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. Investigators say the semi was traveling too fast to navigate a turn, causing the crash.
The driver was partially ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. Utah Highway Patrol tells FOX 13 News that the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.
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.
