Anthony Robert Schepis, 35, was driving along the outer loop of I-695 at approximately 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 2 at Stevenson Road in Pikesville when the fatal crash began, police said.
Troopers from the Maryland State Police Golden Ring Barrack responded to the scene of the crash and determined that a Nissan Frontier being driven by Schepis veered off the roadway onto the shoulder and struck a disabled tractor-trailer, leading to both vehicles to catch fire.
Police said that Schepis was pronounced dead at the scene, though the driver of the tractor-trailer was unharmed.
It is unclear what caused the incident, according to police investigators.
The crash - which remains under investigation - led to the closure of the outer loop of the interstate while state police were at the scene.
