Police in Council Bluffs late Monday evening identified the man who died in the fiery crash of a semi tractor trailer Sunday afternoon. Officials say the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny confirmed the victim of the crash was 54-year old Samil Meskic, of Jacksonville, FL. The ME’s office said Meskic died as the result of internal injuries, and not from the fire. All other aspects of the crash, including the cause, remain under investigation.

Authorities say Meskic was driving a 2005 Volvo semi northbound on Interstate 29 at around 3:30-p.m., Sunday, when for reasons unknown,  the rig crashed through the guardrail separating the north and southbound lanes of traffic on I-29 at Avenue G, before going airborne across Avenue G. The truck came to rest after hitting an embankment between the bridges, and burst into flames.

Firefighters contained the blaze and fuel spill in about 10 minutes. Meskic’s body was discovered after the flames were extinguished.
