A toxicology test will be done, Gast said.

The wreck happened around 3:45 p.m. along northbound I-77 near the 90-mile marker, according to the Highway Patrol.

McCullough's car rear-ended a truck that had stalled in one of the lanes, said Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskin of the Highway Patrol. The driver of the truck had tried to exit the interstate but couldn't because of traffic, Gaskin said. That driver was not injured.
