A truck driver died this afternoon when his truck left the roadway on the westbound Thruway in Le Roy and headed into a line of trees.
The driver was ejected and found nearby with only a slight pulse. He died a short time later and a coroner was called to the scene.
Troop T, State Police, are investigating the accident, but have little to go on at this point. A spokesman said there is no apparent cause for the driver to have lost control of the truck and no prior reports of erratic drivers in the area.
The truck was apparently making drop-offs and deliveries in the area and the nature of its cargo is not currently available.
Both lanes are now open, but the shoulder in the area of mile marker 392 is closed, making travel through the area slower.
The name of the driver has not been released yet pending notification of his family.
Le Roy fire and Le Roy ambulance responded to the scene.
