Police say the incident happened around 3:30 a.m. A commercial semi-truck had reportedly been traveling westbound on I-74 when police say the driver told them strong winds in the area caused the truck to lose control.

Oldham suffered fatal injuries at the scene. Additional information was not immediately available.
