LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Lincoln police have identified the 30-year-old truck driver who died in a two-vehicle crash that shut down Interstate 80 for nine hours.

Officer Michael Schaaf said in his crash report that Galabov was thrown from his vehicle.
Galabov was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Schaaf says the other driver, a 53-year-old man from San Diego, California, wasn't injured in the wreck.
