Troopers responded to the crash at mile marker 144 around 9:45 p.m.

According to troopers, 64-year-old Donald Chambers was disabled in the right southbound lane in a 2013 GMC.

Troopers said a 51-year-old man driving a 2010 Toyota Rav 4 failed to maintain a clear distance when he struck the GMC.

Authorities said he was not wearing a seatbelt during the crash.

The driver of the Toyota was transported to the hospital with minor conditions.

Troopers do not believe alcohol played a role in the crash.
