The accident happened on June 1st at around 4:30 a.m. near East Pennsboro Township. 

According to NBC4i News, a tractor trailer was driving south on I-81 near mile marker 64.5 when it failed to negotiate a curve in the road and struck another rig parked along the roadway. The southbound truck then struck a light pole and overturned before skidding to a stop in the roadway. The parked truck also skidded as a result of the crash and came to a rest along the right shoulder of the Interstate. 

 

The driver of the southbound truck was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. The driver of the parked truck was not hurt. Both trucks were towed from the scene.
