Police said preliminary reports indicate that a semi-truck pulling a trailer was on the interstate when it lost control, left the road and went down an embankment.

The driver, 75-year-old John Easley, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The interstate was shut down for several hours while crews investigated.

No other injuries were reported.
