A man involved in a fatal crash in Louisville, Ky has been identified in a report from WAVE.

The station reported that the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified 44-year-old Ahmed Ibrahim, and that he died from smoke inhalation and thermal burns last Saturday shortly before 5:30 p.m. His cause of death was ruled an accident.

Louisville Metro police officers were called to the scene and said the driver lost control of the semi and hit the concrete median, which caused the tractor and trailer to catch fire.

A semi had also crashed near Kennedy Bride earlier in the morning. Both of these crashes caused I-65 South to close for hours.
