PAROWAN — The driver of a box truck who was killed after his vehicle rolled and was struck by a semitruck on I-15 last week has been identified as Corey C. Brownlee, 27, of Maunakee, Wisconsin.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers responded to a report of a crash on southbound I-15 about 10 miles north of Parowan shortly after 5:20 a.m. Thursday.
The truck was traveling on the freeway when it crashed and rolled over, blocking the southbound lanes. The driver of a semitruck wasn't able to see the box truck "until the last moment" and crashed into its cab as the driver of the semi attempted to avoid the crash, said UHP Sgt. Cam Roden.
Brownlee was pronounced dead at the scene. UHP did not report any other injuries.
Roden said it's unclear what caused the box truck to crash, and the crash remains under investigation. Southbound I-15 was closed for several hours while the crash was cleared.
