The FHP said Neil Shafranski died in the crash, which was reported at 12:37 a.m. on I-95 south near the Pineda Causeway. 

Troopers said Shafranski was driving a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta southbound when he rear-ended a tractor-trailer for an unknown reason. 

Shafranski was pronounced dead at the scene, the FHP said.

The big rig driver was not hurt.

It's not been determined if alcohol played a role in the crash, the FHP said.

All southbound lanes were closed, but they reopened about three hours later.
