State police say Garvey was driving in the left westbound lane when he lost control of his vehicle. The 2011 GMC Terrain traveled out of control across the right lane and onto the shoulder, where it struck a truck that was parked because of a previous crash. 

After hitting the truck, Garvey's vehicle went up an embankment where it finally stopped, the news release states. 

State police say the vehicle was traveling too fast in the heavy rain.
