According to a Utah Highway Patrol spokesperson, the crash occurred at 4:25 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the highway at milepost 216 in Juab County.
Authorities believe the accident was the result of the driver falling asleep, then over-correcting when the truck drifted off the road.
All northbound lanes were originally closed to traffic until some reopened at 7 a.m.
