The victim, identified by the patrol as Clemmie Howard Tucker Sr., was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in the eastbound lanes near Dale Street, the patrol said.

Tucker, 73, was not wearing a seat belt when his Ram 1500 struck a guardrail on the right side of the freeway just after 4 a.m. and rolled over, the patrol said.

He was the lone occupant of the truck.
