Troop A spokesperson Taylor Scrantz told WAFB that the man was driving north on Highway 16 when he ran off the road.

His vehicle reportedly went airborne, knocking out a utility pole, before landing on top of another truck in the parking lot of nearby business.

State Police say that Highway 16 at Juban Road is closed and that there are active power lines across the roadway.
