Jason H. Fields, 51, was driving a 2021 Ford Bronco on the interstate when the debris hit the truck around 10:50 a.m. Monday, said Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Senior Trooper Vu Quang.

Fields was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck at the 281 mile marker, about one mile south of Warrior, said Quang.
