First responders found the SUV with severe front-end damage and the driver trapped inside. Despite extrication efforts, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. No other passengers were in the SUV. The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured. Northbound Lincoln Boulevard was closed for more than two hours as authorities conducted their investigation.
