The Roswell man killed in a single-vehicle wreck early Tuesday has been identified as 23-year-old Chase Alexander Luther.

Roswell police spokesman Zachary Frommer said Luther was driving a Toyota pickup truck that ran off Hembree Road near Crabapple Road and struck a tree.

Luther was the only occupant of the truck, Frommer said.

The wreck happened just before 6 a.m., and Hembree Road was closed between Crabapple Road and Saddlebrook Court for about three hours.
