Nashville, TN : 20-year-old driver killed in I-40 crash in west Nashville on Wednesday morning, August 3, 2016

Metro police said a driver was killed in a rollover crash on I-40 Wednesday morning.

Quinton Jasko-Quarles, 20, was ejected from his 2004 Ford Explorer in the eastbound lanes near White Bridge Pike at 4:45 a.m.

According to police, he lost control of his SUV, causing it to roll over several times. Jasko-Quarles was reportedly not wearing a seat belt.

He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police said a case of beer was found at the scene and they are conducting toxicology testing to see if alcohol played a factor in the crash.

Traffic was backed up for miles along I-40 on Wednesday morning, causing delays for thousands of drivers until about 10:30 a.m. when all the lanes reopened.

Jasko-Quarles was a recent graduate of Hillwood High School and was living in Bellevue. He had also taken courses at Austin Peay State University.

According to his driving record, Jasko-Quarles had two speeding tickets from 2015, including one where he was pulled over on I-40 just a few miles from where he crashed Wednesday morning.
