Mitchell Ray Toombs, 23, killed in crash on Interstate 59 in Birmingham on May 28.

Authorities have identified a man killed early Wednesday in a crash on Interstate 59.

The Jefferson County Coroner's Office identified the victim as Mitchell Ray Toombs. Toombs, 23, was from Ashville.

The crash happened about 3:30 a.m. in the southbound lanes between Roebuck Parkway and First Avenue North. Authorities said Toombs' vehicle left the roadway and hit a guardrail.

He got out of his vehicle and was walking around looking over the damage when a second vehicle struck him, police said. That vehicle also hit the victim's already-wrecked vehicle.

Toombs was pronounced dead on the scene at 3:41 a.m.
