A 32-year-old Fayette County man was killed Friday in a two-vehicle collision along Route 22 in Salem Township, according to the Westmoreland County Coroner’s Office.

Ian C. Praster Sr. of Brownsville was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred just before 7 a.m. at the intersection of Route 22 and East Pittsburgh Street, according to Coroner Kenneth Bacha.

Bacha said Praster was driving a tractor-trailer truck westbound when he struck a tri-axle dump truck from behind at the intersection.

The manner of death was ruled accidental.

State police from the Kiski Valley station were investigating, but a report was not available.

Lantz Funeral Home in Uniontown is in charge of arrangements.
