PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — One person died Monday morning after a truck left the roadway and struck a bridge near Exit 24 in Pikeville.
 

According to WYMT, Pikeville Police say the truck was traveling past the exit when it left the road, hit a metal pole and continued up a small hillside before colliding with the Cedar Creek Bridge.

The driver was the truck’s only occupant and died in the crash. The victim’s identity has not been released. Investigators have not determined what caused the driver to leave the roadway.

Members of a newly formed Advanced Reconstruction Team responded to investigate the crash. The team includes personnel from the Pikeville Police Department, Prestonsburg Police Department and Floyd County Sheriff’s Office.

Police say the joint effort allowed investigators to complete the reconstruction more quickly than a single department could have managed, reducing the amount of time traffic was affected.

Authorities say the crash is not being treated as a criminal investigation.
