According to a press release from Nevada State Police, at around 8:40 p.m. Pacific time, a white Peterbilt semi-truck was traveling west on I-80 in the leftmost lane. The truck ran off the left side of the road, entering the center median, and that caused the vehicle to turn over.

The driver was identified as Johnson, and he was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash after sustaining life-threatening injuries.
