A truck driver from New Jersey is dead after his semi truck overturned in Columbiana County early Wednesday morning.

According to a press release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Lisbon post, the crash happened shortly after 4:30 a.m. Wednesday on U.S. Route 30 in West Township.

Troopers say 59-year-old Robert Walters of Manchester, New Jersey was traveling eastbound when his truck rolled over as he tried to navigate a curve in the roadway.

This caused the truck to go off the road and roll over into a ditch on its roof. Walters was pronounced dead at the scene.

One lane of Route 30 is currently open near the scene. The crash remains under investigation.
