The vehicle was described as a black truck with no lights traveling at a high rate of speed north in the southbound lane.
Police say they immediately responded to the area and located the vehicle traveling north in the southbound lane at mile marker 95.
The vehicle was stopped and the driver was identified as Daniel Jones.
