A 35-year-old man was killed Saturday morning in a single-vehicle crash on westbound Interstate 70 near Palisade, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The crash happened at 11:38 a.m. along I-70 near 35 8/10 Road, just north of Palisade in Mesa County, state officials said.
The 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 truck was heading westbound when it traveled off the right shoulder and onto the median. The truck kept driving in the median before driving over an emergency crossover and going airborne. It landed, rotated, rolled and stopped on its roof.
State patrol officials said the driver died at the scene. His name will be released by the Mesa County Coroner’s Office, and the crash is under investigation.
The left lane of eastbound I-70 was closed Saturday afternoon but reopened as of 4:19 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
