State police said a utility truck stopped in the center lane due to traffic, and the 27-year-old from Florida crashed his dark gray Toyota Corolla into the rear of the truck at a high rate of speed. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash forced I-676 to close for a brief time, but it has since reopened.
