Investigating officer Timothy Wright said Young was operating a pickup truck westbound on Interstate 80 at mile-marker-187 in Greene Township at 5:48 a.m. Wednesday. The police report said for unknown reasons the truck left the south side of the road and traveled some 300 feet in the grass median before reentering the roadway; the vehicle then traveled across both lanes before striking the guard rail on the north side, then traveled back south across both lanes and down over the grassy median, rolling over until it came to rest.

Police said the driver was ejected out the back window and was pronounced dead at the scene.

State police were assisted at the scene by the Sugar Valley Fire Company, the Goodwill Hose ambulance and PennDOT.
