The driver of a semi-trailer truck died in rural St. Louis County on Saturday afternoon after he missed a curve, lost control and crashed his vehicle, which caught fire.

Xavier Ryan Henson, 31, of Grand Rapids, Minn., was driving north on Hwy. 53 in New Independence Township just before 1 p.m., according to a Minnesota State Patrol report. He "was unable to negotiate the curve," at the junction with Hwy. 33, at which point his truck, which was hauling a tanker, ran off the road.

The truck overturned and ignited. Several agencies responded to the blaze, including the St. Louis County Sheriff's Department and nearby fire services.

A State Patrol spokesman said no more information was available and that an investigation was underway.

Correction: An earlier version of this story contained the wrong last name of the person killed.
