A semi-truck driver died around 2 p.m. Tuesday when his truck left Interstate 25 in Loveland, causing it to roll on its side and eject him, according to a press release from Colorado State Patrol.
The semi-truck was traveling north, hauling a flatbed trailer near milepost 258 when it traveled off the right shoulder and through the guardrail on the highway. The truck rolled onto the driver’s side and ejected the driver before coming to a stop off the right shoulder, the press release stated.
The initial release did not identify the driver, but the Larimer County Coroner’s Office will release details once next of kin are notified, CSP Public Information Officer Hunter Mathews wrote in an email. No other vehicles were involved in the crash, he added.
While the northbound high-occupancy vehicle lane is open, the other two northbound lanes were closed as of 3 p.m. for a crash investigation led by Colorado State Patrol, the release stated. Drivers should expect delays in the area.
It is not clear how long the northbound lanes will remain closed, but updated information is available on CoTrip.org.
