Jack Lyons, 56, of Monrovia, Indiana died on scene, the spokesperson said.
When police arrived, they found Lyons and began life-saving procedures.
A preliminary investigation found that Lyons was driving a 2015 Ford Taurus westbound on I-70 before losing control, the spokesperson said.
It is unknown why he lost control of the car, but he overcorrected and ran off the south side of the interstate.
The Ford entered a grassy median and the soft mud caused the car to roll, the spokesperson said.
Investigators determined Lyons was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car.
