The truck went onto the right shoulder and struck guide rail. After hitting the guide rail the truck continued west and struck a bridge abutment. After hitting the bridge abutment the truck became airborne and traveled across New Smithfield Road, overturned and struck an embankment with the top side of the truck.

Surinach was pronounced dead at the scene.
