It happened in Bowling Green, Ohio, on the northbound lanes of I-75, around 5:40 a.m.
According to the Ohio State Patrol, the driver of the 2017 Peterbilt truck lost control near the SR-582 overpass, causing it to veer into the median, up a concrete barrier, and into an overpass pillar.
The driver of the truck was ejected upon impact and later died from his wounds. His name is currently being withheld.
