A 56-year-old man from Marietta, Oklahoma, was identified as the driver killed in a crash on southbound Interstate 35 in Gainesville earlier this week.

Staff Sgt. Mark Tackett said Dale Harvey crashed a red Ford F-350 Super Duty King Ranch truck into a semi-trailer hauling meat products at 1:55 p.m. Tuesday near the 499 Mile Marker after he failed to control his speed.
