The incident was reported around 6:45 a.m. about three miles south of Salina. KHP trooper Ben Gardner said the victim was David Jackson, 25, of St. Louis, Missouri.
Jackson was heading southbound on I-135 in a passenger vehicle when it collided with a semi truck shortly before 6:30 a.m. No one was injured, Gardner said.

Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene. Hein and his passenger in the Equinox were not injured.
