Police are investigating a deadly crash on I-95 in Harford County just before 2 a.m. Friday.

The crash occurred on I-95 just south of Mountain Road in Joppa.

Maryland State Police said the driver of a Chevrolet Cruze, identified as 66-year-old Joseph Kapinos of Fallston, lost control of his car for unknown reasons, hitting the back of a tractor trailer.

State Troopers and EMS personnel tended to Kapinos, before taking him to Upper Chesapeake hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:35 a.m.

The driver of the tractor trailer, identified as 78-year-old Glen Fallin of Etters, PA, wasn’t injured.

Charges are pending as investigation continues, according to police.

ABC2 News would like to offer condolences to the Kapinos family, as Mr. Kapinos was the husband of a WMAR team member.
