The collision happened between Deseronto Road and Highway 49 late Wednesday morning.
One lane reponed around 8:30 p.m, but it wasn't until after midnight Thursday that all lanes were clear.
Investigators were looking for one driver, saying in a news release the driver's whereabouts were “unknown," but police later said the driver was found and succumbed to their injuries at the scene.
A second driver involved in the crash was not hurt.
