A truck driver died in a fiery, single-vehicle crash Tuesday in Ramsey County, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies responded to the crash near U.S. 10 and Interstate 35W at the Mounds View and Shoreview border about 12:45 p.m.

A person driving a dump truck lost control, went off the road and crashed into trees, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Steve Linders said of preliminary information. The truck started on fire and bystanders tried but weren’t able to get the driver out of the cab.

The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating the crash.
