Luis Valdes, 65, of Lehigh Acres, Fla., was charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle.
Valdes was northbound on I-95 in Cumberland County when his rig hit two safety vehicles with flashing warning arrows and went to the left of a third near the Newton Grove exit, authorities said.
The truck then crashed into a mower operated by John Glenn McLean, 47, of Erwin. McLean died at the scene.
State troopers still haven't determined what caused the truck to run off the road.
