Troopers from the Embreeville barracks responded to the crash in East Nantmeal Township, Chester County, between 2:45 a.m. and 4:03 a.m., according to the release.
Investigators say the man was hit in the westbound lane, but the truck involved did not stop. Troopers are calling this a suicide, but authorities are now asking drivers traveling on I-176 westbound, particularly near the Camiel Service Plaza during that time, to check their dash camera footage and inspect their vehicles for possible damage.
Anyone with information is urged to contact PSP-Embreeville at 610-486-6280.
