Rodney Lee Gibson, 54, of Frederick, has been identified by Maryland State Police investigators as the person killed in a two-vehicle crash when he was driving his dump truck along the interstate in Clarksburg on May 13.
At approximately 10:10 a.m. on Monday, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue personnel were called to a stretch of I-270 near Route 109 to investigate a crash involving a van and Gibson's truck.
According to the preliminary investigation, the truck and a 2019 Ford Transit were involved in a collision, at which point Gibson struck a bridge abutment and overturned into a ravine.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
The crash resulted in lengthy lane closures on I-270, which was partially reopened on Monday afternoon following the state police investigation, though there was heavy delays still being reported as of 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
