An Allegheny Township man died Wednesday afternoon when the truck he was driving went off Melwood Road near the Lower Burrell-Allegheny Township line.
Lower Burrell police officer Aaron Rodgers said Nicholas A. Ganter, 29, was driving alone when his pickup went off the right side of the road. The vehicle reentered the right lane before crossing into the left and striking a guide rail and trail off the left side of the road.
The truck started going off Melwood Road in Lower Burrell but crashed just over the line in Allegheny Township, Rodgers said.
Ganter died in the crash due to blunt force injuries, said Westmoreland County Coroner Tim Carson. He was not wearing a seat belt, but airbags were deployed upon the crash.
The crash is under investigation.
