Officials say 25-year-old Patrick Sullivan lost control of his car, crashed into the median on 95 South before 4 a.m., and flipped over.
Both lanes of the highway were closed after the accident, though traffic was allowed to pass via the breakdown lane. All lanes were reopened by 7 a.m.
Sullivan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say the driver did not appear to have been wearing his seatbelt.
The accident took place before the snow started falling.
