This caused Runyeon’s car to travel off the right side of the road and strike a guardrail. James’ truck traveled off the left side of the road, struck a concrete barrier, traveled back across all lanes and stopped in the road, OSHP said.
Runyeon was not wearing a seat belt and was partially ejected. He was pronounced dead at the scene, OSHP said.
James and his passenger, Kyle Ford, 40, of Smyrna, Delaware, were not injured.
The crash caused I-70 to be closed for roughly four hours before it reopened around 10 a.m.
