A 49-year-old truck driver from Decatur, Ala. was killed in an early morning crash on the Thruway just east of the Le Roy exit.
State Police investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the one-vehicle accident that took the life of Freddie R. Hatfield.
Hatfield was reportedly seen driving erratically before his truck veered off the roadway and into a line of trees 50 feet from the shoulder, where his truck burst into flames.
"It could have been a medical issue or he may have simply fell asleep," State Police Capt. Michael Nigrelli told WBTA.
No other vehicles were involved.
Le Roy Fire responded to the scene of the 6 a.m. crash to handle the accident and the fire, which was just over the Genesee County line.
Hatfield was hauling building material from Ohio to Gates, driving for Crete Carriers of Lincoln, Neb.
