Hamilton's rig crossed the yellow fog line and entered the left ditch. The vehicle load jack-knifed and broke loose from the cab. The cab continued skidding out of control and overturned. 

Fayette County Coroner Bruce Bowen pronounced Hamilton dead at the scene of the crash.

An autopsy will be conducted today in Effingham to help determine the cause of death.
